Beijing Cultural experiences

Thanks to you, I took so many fun and pretty pictures! I'm a Korean in my 20s who stayed 3 nights each in Beijing and Tianjin. I don't know any Chinese characters or Chinese at all, and like everyone else, I only know how to say "Ni hao" and "Xie xie." My English is only enough for basic communication, and I can't use sentences properly. But after making a reservation, I sent a friend request to the WeChat number listed, and the owner? answered in English. When I asked questions in English about changing the time, the location of the building, and period clothing, they answered in both English and Chinese. Chinese was automatically translated within the WeChat chat, so there were no problems communicating at all. The wangfu century building has two entrances, one at the entrance (straight path) and one around a curve, and when I went into the first entrance I saw, it went down...?? With all sorts of solicitations 😂 I hurriedly asked on WeChat, and they quickly told me it was the wrong place, so I left the building and entered through the entrance around the curve. When I went inside and explained that I had a reservation, the staff got up. That staff member seemed to only know how to say "Okay" and Chinese, so I used Papago for all communication~! But they were still very kind even with translated communication! And they're a huge makeup expert. It was a female staff member with slightly ash brown? hair, and she was really careful, but her touch was skillful and I really liked it. (I said I put on sunscreen with a translator and she said okay) (+I asked for it to be very fancy and she said okay) They really did a great job without making me feel uncomfortable at all... a hidden master of makeup,, And she showed me things like ribbons and asked if I wanted them, and when I translated that I wanted the original (when I changed it back to Chinese, it became "I want vintage") she said okay okay, and once she put on the wig ornament, it wasn't my face anymore. A new face was created (for real), and she created an unbelievable new face that looked pretty even in unedited iPhone photos. I was 100% extremely satisfied. My Summer Palace & Beijing traditional costume photos came out perfectly thanks to this staff member. (My older sister took the photos with her iPhone without the photo shoot option, and the photo concept was a spoiled princess at the end of the Qing Dynasty)

everything was perfect! Great communication, make up artists was amazing and the photographer does a great job and helps with poses so your pictures come out perfect.

A great experience wearing Hanfu with my partner. The photos turned out amazing. The photographer didn't speak English, but everything went smoothly. Thank you, Nancy.

Rabbit is a passionate woman who greeted me at the subway station and then took me to a nearby traditional market to buy ingredients. The market in Beijing sells some things that are different from Taiwan. I saw many ingredients I had never seen before, like purple and green radishes. It was so interesting. Rabbit is very talkative and can talk about anything. She also showed me many different cultures and lifestyles. Then we went to Rabbit's house, a very clean and elegant Beijing residence, where we started making dumplings from flour. We made the dumpling wrappers and the filling. I was amazed by the northerners' attention to detail when it comes to dumpling wrappers and the order in which the fillings are mixed. Although my family also makes dumplings, it's a method I've never known. I was very excited to gain these valuable experiences and knowledge from Teacher Rabbit. Later, we enjoyed the fruits of our labor together. Wow, it was a moving feast. I have never eaten dumplings that were so chewy (Beijingers say "筋道," or "jindao"). They were springy and delicious. In addition, the handmade tofu we bought from the local market had a charming, smoky aroma that added a wonderful touch to the already delicious dumplings. Thank you very much, Teacher Rabbit. This day was truly fulfilling and enriching. Highly recommended.

A truly special experience. Chenjie and her husband are wonderful people who welcomed us into their home and shared, with passion and love, everything about making dumplings from the dough and fillings to the sauces, side dishes, and tools needed to make them perfectly. I am vegetarian, and they were extremely thoughtful in preparing a special filling just for me, as well as delicious sides both for me and for my fiancé, who eats meat. We felt truly cared for in every detail. For my fiancé’s birthday, they even bought a cake and candles to celebrate with us, making the moment even more special. It was a unique and unforgettable experience that we highly recommend, as it truly enriches the soul. We are grateful to have met such kind and generous people. We wish you a 2026 full of happiness and serenity and hope to see you soon in Italy! Norma & Luca

Amazing experience and instructor ! I had the possibility to choose the vegetables and fruits I like. We made 4 different receipes easy to cook at home. Thanks again for everything

So happy! Under Ms. Rabbit's careful guidance, I made many mooncakes. Because she was so patient in helping me, each mooncake turned out beautifully shaped. This is truly the most perfect Mid-Autumn Festival!

Located inside Wanfu Century building, level 6 room 601B. Only 5-10 mins walk from Jinyu Hutong MRT Station (Line 8 Green) Exit C. Friendly staffs and very good Chinese Hanfu costumes for women/men/kids. Good makeup as well. RMB 500 deposit required (cash/Alipay), costumes & accesories must be returned before 7pm.

I've always been interested in the Chinese tea ceremony, and I received a kind, one-on-one lesson in English and simple Chinese. The 2-hour session was very fulfilling and a deep learning experience, allowing me to grasp the differences and similarities between Chinese and Japanese tea ceremonies. I would love to go back and learn more.
