Beijing quadrangle tourist attractions

The well-preserved quadrangle in Beijing is Dongsi Hutong Museum.

Dongsi Hutong Museum is an important part of the "Dongsisan-Batiao Historical and Cultural Blocks Environmental Comprehensive Management Project" jointly organized by Dongcheng District Government and the Capital Group. This museum, which reproduces the rich historical features and humanistic characteristics of the "Four Nine Cities", is located in Beijing, providing an important sample for Beijing's urban renewal and transformation in the new era.

Dongsi Museum reproduces the richest hutong history as much as possible through videos, documentaries, models and photo exhibitions, but there are few historical objects. Dongsi Hutong Museum is a world of old houses, mirrors and glass. Interior design also incorporates modern art on a large scale. The 3-meter-high arc-shaped stainless steel art installation spans two courtyards from the air, which means "Moon Shadow".

A stainless steel metal ball with a diameter of nearly 1 m is placed in the center of the courtyard, and its surface is engraved with 28 stars, named "Xingtian", which echoes the "Moon Shadow" from a distance.
