Simplicity in prosperity, quietness in noise, feel the "color" of hutong ~

Pack your bags and walk alone in the streets of a bustling city, looking at the congested and noisy streets and crowded tall buildings. I really want to stay away from this noisy city and find a quiet place to relax my long-term nervous heart. ......

In the bustling city of Beijing, there is such a clean place. Traditional streets have not been changed into flashy tourist attractions, and ancient houses that have been hundreds or even thousands of years have not been changed into shops. It has always maintained its original appearance, and even the "most authentic" old Beijing lives in it, humming its original Beijing rhyme and Beijing accent. This place is a unique feature of Beijing-Hutong.

In Beijing, large and small hutongs crisscross and weave into a colorful Beijing city. Hutong is deep and beautiful, and you can find different fun in this small alley. As the carrier of Beijing's ancient culture, Hutong itself has eternal artistic charm. The hutongs in Beijing have experienced ups and downs for hundreds of years, recording the historical changes of this land. It is a symbol of the lively life of old Beijingers, and it is also the embodiment of Beijing's ancient cultural heritage. In the transformation of the ancient city, the Beijing government has well preserved the cultural heritage of Hutong. There is neither excessive commercial development nor excessive building demolition, but reasonable planning and repair are carried out to preserve the integrity of historical buildings to the greatest extent.

Looking at all kinds of gatehouses and courtyards, pairs of different stone carvings in front of the door, and pieces of ceramic tiles with historical marks give people a feeling of ancient simplicity and tranquility. Walking in this quiet alley seems to have crossed the history and felt the memory and relics of this capital. ......
