Ancient China, Everyday China

Beijing → Luoyang · 7 Days

Go beyond the monuments and meet the people who live among them, through markets, wheat, tofu, mushrooms, home cooking, and tea.

From Beijing to Luoyang, this route follows food and everyday life through two of China’s most storied cities. Shop where locals shop, learn how wheat becomes noodles and dumplings, taste tofu in many forms, and sit down at tables where the stories are as good as the food.
