This Saturday: Disoriented in the Orient Scavenger Hunt
Become a Hutong Scholar of distinction in an afternoon. Beijing Postcards will host our ultimate hutong challenge on September 16. Get to know your city by completing a Hutong Scavenger Hunt with obstacles of all thinkable kinds. You don’t need prior knowledge of Beijing history, but during an engaging and hopefully entertaining afternoon you will learn the history of the city you live in from street level.
Your team will dive in to the past passing republican opium dens, imperial mansions and communist factory halls. Many of our hutong neighbors will assist along the way when you are sent in to the narrow hutong alleyways, desperately trying to complete your mission. Your time travel will cover 2000 years of Beijing history in 4 hours.
You will be competing in small groups of 3-5 people, trying to win prizes from Beijing Postcards collections. All ages are welcome.
