What do you think of when you talk about hutongs? I think it must be memories of old Beijing. Although today's Beijing city has long been a place where modernization and fashion pass through, it still cannot replace the meaning and memory of Hutongs to Beijing. Perhaps it was because I had a childhood in the hutongs when I was a child, so my love for the hutongs is deep in my heart. Whether it is the cries in the hutongs or the laughter of the children, they are all the most pyrotechnic sounds in the hutongs. It is also the most primitive sound in old Beijing.

If you like this route and want to experience the oldest city of Beijing, then you must not miss the next route arrangement. Maybe you can also refer to it and let me, a native of Beijing, lead you to listen to Beijing together.

Pre-trip travel design:

Day 1: Nanluogu Lane + East Mianhua Hutong + Nanchizi Art Museum;

Day 2: Eighteen half-way alleys + hidden mosques + Tongzhou Night Market

Day 3: Qianmen Street + Yangmei Zhuxie Street Hutong Group + Panjiayuan Sold Goods Market

What do you think of the overall feeling of this route? In fact, Nanluogu Lane on the first day was just passing by. If you want to have an in-depth tour of Nanluogu Lane, I'm afraid it will take a whole day. Nanluogu Lane is not a purely commercial street. In fact, there are many famous residences, and you can also find professional explanations. Let's just take a brief look. The highlight is in an alley that most tourists will ignore: East Mianhua Hutong.

Cross Nanluogu Lane to find the East Mianhua Hutong full of artistic atmosphere;

Speaking of East Mianhua Hutong, I believe many friends must find it unfamiliar. Yes, this is a hutong that will be ignored. Although it is not so famous, it is the most indispensable one in Beijing hutongs, and it is also the most artistic. A hutong with atmosphere. East Mianhua Hutong is located in East Mianhua Hutong on Andingmennei Street, Dongcheng Area, Beijing City. Looking down the guardrail of East Mianhua Hutong, you can see the scenery at both ends of the alley.

Although this alley looks similar to many alleys, it has the school buildings of the Central Academy of Drama, and the artistic atmosphere instantly appreciates. And when you walk into Yard 15, you will find that it is so different. This place was originally part of the Fengshan mansion of a famous person in the late Qing Dynasty. Fengshan is deeply appreciated by the old Buddha. He had studied abroad, visited Europe, and inspected the new German-Austrian army. Therefore, he had a special liking for Western culture, so he built this Western-style arch in his old house. This design is suddenly fundamentally different from other hutongs. It is difficult to imagine the unique cave here.

Although the trees have withered and the flowers have not bloomed in winter, it still cannot stop the artistic atmosphere brought by this arch. The statue designs on both sides are different, and it will be more beautiful here in summer. Now enjoy the charm of these embossed in the quiet winter day. There are different families living here, and there are some thoughtful designs at the door of each house. I instantly feel that this is the Beijing Hutong memory I am looking for.

👏Special tips:

There are no tickets for free, and people are currently living there, so be careful not to shout too loudly after entering and not disturb the residents.

The trip in this alley can be arranged for a long time. Although it rained that day, it did not affect my interest at all. I made an appointment with friends and walked leisurely in this alley. I accidentally smelled the aroma of coffee. I looked up and saw a few interesting words that interested us very much: "Remove the Single Courtyard". It turned out that there was also a hidden coffee shop in the alley next to it. The name of the taste of childhood also has a nostalgic feeling. So he went in and sat down.

There are many nostalgic objects in the store, some of which belong to childhood memories, tape recorders, typewriters, and telephones. The integration of all these adds some retro and nostalgic flavor to the store. There are also some cakes and different teas in the store to meet the needs of different people. After this rain, it is even more warm.

Order a cup of coffee, or like other drinks, and drink it to warm the winter in the alley.️The equipment in the store is very nostalgic, no wonder there are childhood memories and emotions. Perhaps this is to retrieve the traces of childhood, chat with friends here or be in a daze, and a wonderful time begins.

The light and shadow of the window lattice on the wall is itself a work, and you can experience the artistic atmosphere with children. Two hours is enough for one lap.

There are eighteen half-alley alleys hidden in the sub-center of Beijing, and mosques hidden in the eighteen half-alley alleys;

My hometown is located in Tongzhou District, Beijing City, which is now the sub-center of Beijing. There are antique thousand-year-old temples here, towns with artistic atmosphere, antique streets, and various warm and romantic scenes. This time we walked into eighteen half-way alleys to experience the different sub-centers and the more historical city of Beijing.

When it comes to Tongzhou City, old people often talk about the "eighteen halves". This refers to the eighteen half-alleys where the Hui people live. They are horizontal and vertical, and intersect each other. They were once an important part of Tongzhou's old city. Eighteen half-way alleys? How come it's half? There is also a Bai General Alley. Did a General really live there? In history, there were many celebrities living in the "Eighteen Halts". Among them, the White General Hutong has always been confusing to people. Did a general really live here? The answer is yes. Bai Rong, a native of Tongzhou in the Qing Dynasty, was General Bai. "Countries have typical examples. Ancient gentlemen, their public mind is stone, and their public name is not worn down." This is the praise of Qi Junzao, a grand scholar of the Qing Dynasty, to Bai Rong.

In addition to Bai Rong, there was another general who lived in General Bai's Hutong, the patriotic general Feng Yuxiang. After Feng Yuxiang and Li Dequan got married, they lived in Bai General Hutong. Two famous people also lived in the "Eighteen Halts" area, namely Ma Jinglun, the supervisory censor of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zhi, an outstanding progressive thinker and writer of the Ming Dynasty.

Address: Tongzhou South Street, Beijing

Transportation: Self-driving cars can be parked nearby and walked in. Parking spaces in hutongs are relatively tight.

Today's hutongs are not only beautiful, but also have more cultural heritage. The museum on the wall is an original form. You can see various old objects displayed in the window window, many of which belong to childhood objects. In addition, there are various handmade works displayed, all of which are very exquisite. Even some sports of the Winter Olympics can be found here, keeping pace with the times and being perfectly reflected here. If you want to see different alleys, you must come here.

Not only can you experience nostalgia in the alley, but there is also a mosque hidden here. Looking from a distance, a green-roofed building attracted my attention. Why didn't I find this place before? As I walked in the alley, it turned out that this is a mosqueˇ, and services will be held in the temple soon.

🛕This temple is divided into different places of worship for male and female guests, distributed on the left and right sides. Men's worship buildings are obviously more majestic, while women's buildings look simpler. However, when the sound of worship sounded, there seemed to be a feeling of travel. It seemed like I had arrived at some places in Qinghai and Xizang at that moment. The sun was just right and it was warm on my body. Most of the residents here were Hui, and they still continued their traditions and habits.

⚠️游玩tips：

Be careful to keep quiet when entering here, do not make noise, and do not disturb guests during the service. Anyone is allowed to enter without special restrictions.

🕐Opening hours: 08:00-20:00

Tickets: Free

Address: No. 1 Huimin Hutong, Tongzhou District, Beijing City

Transportation: Self-driving navigation to Nanjie or Xiaolou Hotel.

After playing, you can eat at Xiaolou Hotel, which is also very historical. Xiaolou Hotel is a famous century-old Muslim brand. The original brand name is "Yihe Xuan". It was founded in 1900 in the 26th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. For Tongzhou people, it has accompanied the growth of many people. Xiaolou Hotel is the most representative in Tongzhou. Xiaolou cuisine represented by Xiaolou Sanjiao (burnt catfish, burnt meat slices, burnt creak) has a long history. Xianyuan tofu milk tells the trace of time. Each dish has a different source...

Grandpa often talks about Xiaolou because it is not only a place to eat, but also a memory of his childhood. I am grown up now and have my own children, and I will continue to come here with my children. Everyone knows that I have taken my children to many places and countries. This time, I want to bring everyone to my hometown and introduce the delicious food here. Each dish is a historical inheritance and has a different story.

In addition to Xiaolou Sanjiao, more representative dishes include Chiacha, which my family can basically cook. It is an indispensable dish for the Spring Festival New Year's Eve dinner. There are also grilled pork strips, which are fat but not greasy ~~ You must taste them in person to feel the delicacy and happiness.

This arrangement can be said to be the ultimate experience in old Beijing. In the evening, you can also go to Tongzhou's night market to taste different snacks and local delicacies. The epidemic has disrupted many people's lives. Beijing is colder in winter. Without the summer skewers, I always feel that there is something missing.

I accidentally discovered the local night market in Tongzhou and invited my family to go there quickly to see what was going on. The night market is not big enough to be near the subway station, and office workers and surrounding residents usually come here to eat. It's just that we had dinner when we arrived, and our family said we had no room to eat, otherwise we would have to taste it.

There are many types of delicious snacks:

Woollen eggs, this is a snack often had when I was a child, but I dare not eat them. You can choose hairless ones, as well as the famous Changsha stinky tofu, as well as various snacks such as mala tang and French fries.

The Northeast cuisine is really eye-catching here. The taste of fish dumplings is very fragrant, and there are even various small hot pots with special tents so you don't have to worry about being too cold.

My favorite one is ice sugar gourd. The price is too close to the people. There are all kinds of fruits and some daily necessities. Although the street is not big, the sparrow is small and has everything.🍉If you want to experience it, why not come and have a look!

🕐General business hours: It starts after dark in the evening, until around 10 p.m.

Transportation: You can find it by driving and navigation to Zhangjiawan Xinhua Kindergarten.

Such a day's itinerary will not be very tiring, but you can experience the combination of ancient and modern Beijing. Different ways to play have a lot of happiness and happiness. You can visit niche routes, but also go shopping at the night market and eat a variety of classic snacks. Isn't it very rich?

The following day continued our immersive experience. There are many hutongs in Beijing. How can we experience the strongest fireworks? Then we must not miss the community of Yangmei Zhuxie Street Hutongs. Why is it a community? This is because At the critical point of this alley are different hutongs, one after another.

The route to here will pass through Qianmen Street, which has a long history. Listen to the most nostalgic sounds of old Beijing on Qianmen Street.🔊I can't remember the last time I came to Qianmen Street. This time is not what I remember. It has become a combination of fashion and retro in the flavor of old Beijing. The sun is right, and there is a kind of scenery abroad in a trance.

There was a sound in my memory from afar, and the car passed by in front of me, which immediately pulled my thoughts back. Candy gourd and sugar paintings are full of childhood pictures. Although there are fewer shouts on the street, they have a more quiet atmosphere.

ˇUnder the blue sky and white clouds, walking on the straight street, there is always a heart-warming signal. There were people in twos and threes, leisurely, and statues on the roadside described all memories of Beijing. You can find familiar delicacies here, as well as a variety of snacks. If you want to taste the flavor of Beijing, you can start here.🥧

You can choose one of the shops to taste it, or buy some souvenirs. This street is very clean and tidy, and it is very beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds. You can also choose to take a Dangdang car to experience Beijing of that era. It is like traveling through. When you mention this car, the elderly in the family will tell many stories about their childhood. You will also see the famous Dazhalan when visiting Qianmen Street, so you might as well go in and have a look. There are some art exhibitions and sculptures here, which can not only cultivate sentiments, but also feel different pedestrian streets.

Crossing Qianmen Street, you can see the hutongs. In fact, every street in the hutongs is very interesting and full of all kinds of strongest fireworks. Yangmei Zhuxie Street is a street in Beijing. It is located in the southwest of Qianmen, about half a kilometer west of the west exit of Dazhalan Street. It starts from Meishi Street in the east and ends at Yanshou Street in the west. It was called "Xie Street" in the Ming Dynasty, because it tilted from northeast to southwest, so it got its name. Yangmeizhu used to be a cultural street. Liang Shizheng, a grand scholar of Dongge during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and Shen Congwen, a modern writer, once lived on this street.

Playing tips:

There are many different hutongs nearby, and you can feel different if you walk one. The atmosphere of life and fireworks in the hutongs is even stronger. It is in sharp contrast to the tall buildings around it and feels very different.

ˇYou can also visit some representative buildings, just in the hutongs, but some changes have been quite big, and it doesn't matter if you are tired of shopping. There are many cafes with atmosphere hidden in the hutongs, which are very ins and integrated with hutongs. It's cool. This is why I like hutongs, which always gives us a different feeling.️

🥯Walking along the hutong, you will find that life in the hutong and the outside is a different scene. There are many roadside stalls in the hutongs, and you can even find some delicious food that has disappeared on the street before. Filling cakes with eggs is my favorite method.

📷Pictures like this always remind me of my childhood, and sometimes I feel the happiness even if I don't buy it. Dinner or snacks, as well as a variety of fruits and cooked food, you can find any delicious food outside your doorstep, and there are also various coffee shops, which are difficult to find in the city.

Location: You can walk directly through Qianmen Street, which is very easy to find.

Transportation: Exit Exit A of Zhushikou Station on Metro Line 7.

After shopping with friends for an afternoon, I didn't feel tired at all, because hutongs have such charm, and they always make us feel unique charm. They seem plain and unique, but hide infinite excitement and surprises. There are also various specialty cafes and restaurants in the hutongs, so you don't have to worry about eating. There are also many options for afternoon tea, and it has the unique scenery and pictures that are unique to hutongs.

We chose a very unique ins style cafe, hidden in the hutongs. The surrounding hutongs have a strong atmosphere of fireworks and an atmosphere of blending modernity and history. Walking along the alley, you won't feel bored at all, because the environment here will make you very comfortable.

When you walk into the coffee shop, you can smell the aroma of coffee. You can choose to match it with your favorite cake and walk up to the second floor, or choose to sit by the window and bask in the sun, or choose to watch life in the alley from the courtyard outside. The weather is sunny, and the alleys under the blue sky and white clouds are more warm. How rare it is to have such a leisurely afternoon tea. The combination of style and antiquity in the cafe gives different people different feelings. The hutongs of old Beijing can also compose different scenery.

Enjoy the time under the warm sun here, or chat in the in-style seat. A coffee shop has two different styles. I think this is the unique scenery of the Hutong. The fireworks of the market, coupled with modern ins, do not feel discord, but on the contrary, they have some more exquisite charm. In addition, there are many distinctive restaurants and B & Bs. If you want to have a more immersive experience here, you may wish to choose to live in the hutong. The hustle at night or the tranquility in the store all belong to the different sounds of the hutong and belong to different Beijing pictures.

I don't know if you like the "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" series of books or movies and television dramas, but you might as well go to the Panjiayuan flea market in the last few days. This is another scene in Beijing. I like "Ghost Blows Out the Lantern" and "Tomb Robbing Notes" very much. The Panjiayuan that Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang have always mentioned is here, and the sales department of Dajinya is also here, so I visited it with the feeling of treasure hunting.

After walking around several times, I found that this is also a wholesale market, and it is mixed with good and bad people. If you want to buy what you want, you must not only choose carefully, but also learn to have sharp eyes, otherwise you may buy fakes. I prefer the silver ornaments here, but they are expensive. Thousands of yuan are common. It depends on how you bargain.

Playing tips:

Panjiayuan Sold Goods Market is located in the southwest of Panjiayuan Bridge, East Third Ring Road, Beijing, covering an area of 48,500 square meters. The market is divided into six business areas: stall area, ancient building area, classical furniture area, modern collection area, stone carving area, and catering service area.

🚦Traffic strategy:

100 meters west of the west end is the Panjiayuan Sold Goods Market, or walk from the Party School of the Machinery Bureau, where you can go south at a traffic light and go east, and you will be there 200 meters away.

There are no famous attractions that the public is familiar with, but you can experience the original flavor of old Beijing, candied haws and various sugar paintings, the sweetness in your mouth, and taste the sweetness of old Beijing. The sunshine in the hutongs tells the history of Beijing, as well as some cultures and street markets with a long history, giving us a different picture of Beijing. If you want to trace the memories of hutongs and listen to the different sounds of Beijing, you must not miss such an arrangement. The next time you go to Beijing, remember to take a walk and experience the unique hutong culture of old Beijing for yourself.
