Hutongs of Beijing #162166650
Description
In the centre of chaotic Beijing the old Chinese way of life continues in the Hutongs, or inner city villages. In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences.[1] Many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another. The word hutong is also used to refer to such neighbourhoods.
