This cooking class takes you into a local Beijing home to make Chinese dumplings by hand. First, explore a local wet market and learn about the ingredients used in Chinese cooking, then head to the family home to prepare the filling and wrappers with your host. Besides dumplings, you'll choose two more dishes, such as Kung Pao chicken or sweet and sour pork, to cook together and share the meal with your host family. Over tea, you'll hear about the family's daily life, and you can choose between a group or private tour.

Visit a local family's home in Beijing and learn how to make dumplings and Chinese home-style dishes. A live guide leads the experience in English, and it takes about 4–5 hours.

The group tour meets at Exit B of Gulou Dajie Station on Metro Line 2, while the private tour starts by meeting your driver at your hotel. Walk through a local wet market and learn about the ingredients used in Chinese cooking.

At the family home, prepare the filling and wrappers and practice folding neat dumplings with your host. Choose two more dishes to cook together from Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, scrambled eggs with tomato, cabbage stir-fried in soy sauce, or pork with mung beans.

Enjoy lunch or dinner with your host made from the dishes you cooked. Afterwards, chat with your host over tea and learn about local family life.
