Detailed itinerary

We’re starting strong! This hidden alley is home to juicy soup dumplings that explode with flavor and crispy Nanjing-style roast duck served the local way. No tourist traps, no waiting in line — just bold, authentic bites locals swear by.

Wander through Laomendong, a beautifully preserved historic district filled with Ming and Qing dynasty charm. It’s a maze of stone alleys, old brick houses, red lanterns, and hidden courtyards — like walking into a living postcard. While you're exploring, we’ll stop for a few seasonal snacks along the way, just like the locals do.

Time for a quick culture fix. This modern-meets-traditional art space offers a peaceful vibe, gorgeous exhibits, and a welcome pause between bites. It's like a palate cleanser… for your brain.
