Located near the Drum Tower and Shichahai, Yandai Xiejie (Tobacco Pipe Slanted Street) is one of Beijing’s oldest commercial hutong streets. Dating back to the Qing Dynasty, this narrow, 230-meter-long alleyway earned its name from the numerous long-stemmed tobacco pipe shops that once lined its path, as well as its distinctive shape, which resembles a giant smoking pipe.

Originally serving as the northern terminal of the Grand Canal during the Yuan Dynasty, it played a key role in imperial transport and commercial life.

“Fantastic guide – highly recommended!”
We had an amazing experience with our guide in Beijing! She was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and professional, and spoke perfect English, making communication effortless. We visited the Great Wall and several beautiful temples in the city. She organized everything perfectly, taking us around by private car when needed, but also showing us how to explore Beijing like locals using the subway and taxis. She shared lots of interesting information about Chinese history, culture, and everyday life, and gave us excellent recommendations for authentic local restaurants where we enjoyed fantastic food. Always punctual, reliable, helpful, and attentive to our needs, she made our time in Beijing truly enjoyable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Beijing!

“Jenny is a delight!”
If you are visiting Beijing and want an excellent guide I can 100% recommend Jenny! She arranged a bespoke 2 day tour for me to see the main sights in Beijing and also a trip out to experience the Great Wall. Jenny speaks superb English and is great company. I learned so much from her about China - the history and culture and also modern life. It is important to find a guide who is organised and a good communicator. Jenny was excellent ahead of my arrival in China, making sure I knew what to expect. She did everything needed to secure tickets (these have to be bought in advance with passport details - she made all the arrangements). Jenny went above and beyond for me. I asked if I could maybe fly a kite while visiting the Olympic Park and she not only found me a kite but she joined in the fun. I regular book official guides when visiting new places so I can say with knowledge that Jenny is one of the best guides I've ever used. Do yourself a big favour and book her if you want someone to help you to enjoy your time in Beijing. You will not regret it!
