From the ordinary to the extraordinary, we guide you to spots to visit in Beijing.  Most are definitely not on the usual tourist map.  If you seek a bit of Beijing hutong adventure on your own or want to make a ceramic pot at the same site where imperial ceramics and porcelain were fired during the Ming and Qing dynasties, we will include them all in this section.  From basic country inns with vegetables straight from the garden to newly refurbished temples amidst Beijing's nooks, be sure to check out Insider's Beijing before your trip.
