🇮🇳 Mumbai
Namaste
The hutong neighbourhoods around Shichahai and Nanluoguxiang are the real Beijing — ancient alleyway networks of courtyard homes that survived the modern city. Hire a rickshaw guide for an hour at dawn before the tourist groups arrive. Wangfujing Night Market on the east side of the pedestrian street sells scorpions on sticks, but the real food is in the lanes behind it.
Bargain at markets. The local train is the city's lifeblood — rush hour is not for the faint-hearted.
