In Beijing, a city with a history of 3000 years and 800 years, tradition and modernity are intertwined. In recent years, with the increasing emphasis on the protection and utilization of the old city, many quadrangles in Beijing's old hutongs have also been rejuvenated.

In Jia Wei Hutong, Dongcheng District, there is an old Beijing quadrangle-style building, which has been carefully built into a characteristic boutique hotel, named Old City Courtyard. When you walk into the old courtyard, you can not only feel the ancient architectural features of China, but also taste the delicious food from France.

Yves Wang, the executive chef of the French restaurant in Laoyuanzi, returned to China for development last year and joined Laoyuanzi, bringing a special French romance to this courtyard hidden in the alley.
