Get lost in Beijing’s Hutongs

#visitbeijing #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #beijing If you’re in need of a place for a beautiful and historic afternoon stroll in Beijing, then the Hutongs are the place to go. Originally built in the Qing dynasty for the officers and generals of the forbidden palace, now they are lived in by real families. These small winding streets are typical to Beijing and a real local experience. Although some of the Hutongs have been taken over by various food and tourist shops, we recommend taking a wander around the less beaten track to explore all the individuality to each of the doors. A lovely place to visit for a truthful slice of Beijing living.
