Hi Joanna,
Greeting from Peggy, Top China Travel.
Where is Beijing hutongs?
Hutong is called the living fossil of old Beijing. And most hutongs are spreaded within Beijing second ring road. Especially in Shichahai area.
How can I visit there?
There are three ways to visit Hutongs
Rickshaw tour - the traditional tourist sightseeing way. Sitting on a rickshaw and strolling in hutongs on the wheel
Leisure walking - freely walking inside the hutongs to see the local life there
Biking tour - rent a bike to cycle through the hutongs
What to see:
It is possible to walk around and get a feel for the life of people who live there, especially in late afternoon when kids are back from schools and locals are out and about buying food and shopping. While now many hutongs become commercial as a bar street rather than a living area.
