The Hutong

The Hutong The Hutong is Beijing’s culture exchange center in the heart of the Chinese capital and a retreat where expats, foreigners and locals meet and connect.

We host events, teach cooking classes, take people on tours and tea journeys, educate students, promote healthy habits and encourage creative pursuits. Check out our website to learn more. Better yet, come meet us in person if you find yourself in Beijing!

One of the highlights of our research trips this season was getting out to Huanggang village in Guizhou where we got a taste of farm work and local carpentry. We’re very excited at the potential of taking learners out to Guizhou a future Hutong destination!

At The Hutong, our Health and Safety motto is “intervene because you care.”

We just wrapped our staff retreat in Hangzhou, where one of the key themes for the year ahead is HALT: Have A Little Talk.

The idea behind it is simple: verbal cueing is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk in the field. It costs nothing, requires no special training, and anyone on our team can do it, anywhere, the moment something feels off.

Throughout the retreat, we practiced this together; walking through real scenarios, calling out hazards, and building the habit of speaking up in the moment rather than after the fact. Stop. Hand Up. Name the Risk. Have a little talk.

It might sound simple, but it’s practices like this that build an exceptional Culture of Safety. And it’s how “intervene because you care” shows up day after day not as a motto, but as a habit every Hutonger carries into the field.

Thank you coaches Sean Wilde and Callum McCleery for taking the lead on this hugely important initiative.

🎒 Excitement. Nerves. Adventure.
Before every great trip comes a little preparation.
In the final video of our Parent Guide series, our educators share practical advice to help students feel ready, confident, and excited for the journey ahead, from packing essentials to managing those first-trip nerves.

What better way to facilitate effective internal training than to put our Hutongers right in the game?
 
For our 2026 H2 Staff Retreat, we brought one of our classic Hangzhou experiential learning adventures, “Toad Hill Hop,” into the agenda, giving our team the chance to experience the activity from a learner’s perspective.
 
Local legends woven through time, historical landmarks brought to life, immersive storytelling, and unexpected twists around every corner… this journey is never short of surprises.
 
Will Qian Chu, the King of Wuyue, obtain the immortal pill? Inside the Toad’s golden grail, will he find a potion of cure… or death?
 
We continue to pioneer our Principles of Fun, showing that these simple tools aren’t just magic in the field, but have transformative power on company culture and team trainings as well.

At The Hutong, sometimes the best way to learn how to facilitate an experience is simply to jump right into it ourselves.
 
Ribbit, ribbit… 🐸 See you on the next hop!
