In Beijing today, there is no one outside the Third Ring Road? Beijing flavor? And a circle of skyscrapers in the outer ring is as international as Shanghai. Do you want to experience the real thing? Old Beijing? You still have to live in the alley.
Seeing the hotel price in the hutong, I was scared to go backwards three steps. In a group of people, I finally chose a homestay in Liu Yin Street Hutong. It is 800 meters away from Houhai. How far is it? The house in Little Shenyang? 600 meters away from Gongwangfu, all within the Second Ring Road? Royal attractions? , are within walking distance, can be said to be an inch of land.
This is a 30-square-meter mini-jump floor. Two people stand side by side in the room and turn around and they can bump into each other. The room rate per night is 4 10 yuan, and the health fee is 68 yuan. I stayed for two nights, totaling 888 yuan. Because the numbers were so lucky, I placed an order directly without saying anything (covering my face).
Spend money for a while and tighten your belt for three months. Well, now I am eating dirt and writing this hutong travel note with tears.

Let's take a look at this hotel first, and then talk about Beijing Hutong. Is this a small size? Single room? The landlord is a post-80s Beijing girl. She talked about Beijing dialect and Beijing accent. This room is where she grew up. She is a diving instructor, and her job is equivalent to traveling. She went out for half a month, and when the house was empty, she simply made a homestay and rented it for the day when she went out to work.
This house is one of the small courtyards. It is speculated that it once owned the owner of this yard. In the past, Beijing should also be regarded as a middle-class family. There are seven or eight other houses of the same size, and now seven or eight families are living their own destinies.
The bungalows in Beijing Hutong are generally like this. In the old society, Wang Xietang died in front of Yan and flew to the homes of ordinary people. When I first came to Beijing that year, I lived in shaoyaoju. When I first came to Dongcheng District, I retired to Chaoyang District. At that time, I often rode my bike around the Second Ring Road, crossed Heping Lane and Lama Temple, and walked all the way in the hutong for 30 minutes, then I could reach Tiananmen Square?
Later, when the rent went up and then up, I retreated eastward: Jing 'anzhuang, Sanyuanqiao, Communication University, Tuqiao and Yanjiao. Who wanted to use it for 20 years, leaving only one regret: I didn't live in an alley in Beijing.
This time, I lived in Su Min Hutong, which made up for my long-standing regret. At the same time, I draw a conclusion: if I feel the amorous feelings of the city of 1949 and the culture of old Beijing, I really want to live in hutong.
Because I live in something else? Home? So this room is full of warmth? Popular? . Boiled washing powder, plugged-in water heater, pots and pans, toothpaste and toothbrush, bottles and jars on the washstand?
Standing in the room looking at the back window, the fireworks are accompanied by rows; Standing in the front window and looking across the street, it's only a stone's throw away. What are the personalities of Beijingers? Not making do? Stubborn, even if the homestay is narrow, the layout of the room is quite exquisite. Refrigerator, color TV washing machine, electric kettle, microwave oven, air conditioner, vacuum cleaner mattress, including the humble one? Landing? Sofas, as mentioned above, are well-known brands.
This bed is really comfortable. It is said that the bed cost thousands of dollars.
To arrange one? Private cinema? This wall curtain at the entrance of the bathroom is also used with heart. And this private bathroom. This? Baby? For hutongs in Beijing, this is a rarity. Many old Beijingers have lived in hutongs for decades and used public toilets. The sewer in the alley is more expensive, and the toilet paper is broken and dare not flush down the toilet hole. Even so, this land is still one of the best locations in Beijing. Tenants swarmed in, and the supply of housing was in short supply. Once autumn is full of gold and golden leaves fall to the ground, this unique Shen Jing Jingyun will have it.
Early the next morning, I went out for a short walk 100 meters and got into a Qingfeng steamed stuffed bun shop. I ate two or three dishes enthusiastically, with a side dish and a bite of porridge. Walk along the alley in the evening, and you will arrive in Houhai in ten minutes. Buy a bunch of Sugar-Coated Berry for 20 yuan a barbecue season, and spend per capita 180 yuan? Such a simple life is still a luxury for many people who drift north.
There are actually many strategies about hutongs in Beijing on the Internet. What do you recommend in Beijing? Small alley? . My personal opinion is that the niche is really unpopular and distinctive, but the hutong you should go to must be visited. For example, Nanluoguxiang, such as Xie Jie, Dai Yan.
Only when you see the best and most famous stones will you have the extra mood to taste the unique beauty of the nameless pu.
Just like we do things. When you have the working experience of the top 500 companies, you can be comfortable in small companies; Just like our country's 9.6 million square kilometers, only by living in a vast country and then going to those small countries can we feel its exquisiteness and strangeness. The same is true of hutongs in Beijing. If you only look for the scenic spots of ethnic minorities when you first come to Beijing, once someone talks about the essence of famous scenic spots in the future, you will definitely leave regrets in your heart.
Therefore, to travel is to realize one's deepest desire. Go wherever you want, why care what others say? Who will fall for it? In that case, go if you want, and follow your heart. This is the best trip.
Classics are classics. 5A, there must be a reason. A niche is a niche. Only by climbing to the top of the mountain can one see all the mountains that one can see? Small? .
Not just Beijing. The same is true of tourism in other cities. When you arrive in Shanghai, you should visit Nanjing Road on the Bund. When I arrive in Tianjin, I will go to the old block of Universal Architecture. Daming Lake in Jinan, Terracotta Warriors in Xi, Taikooli in Chengdu? So I still suggest you live in Beijing Hutong, which is Beijing.

There are two most famous hutongs in Beijing: Nanluoguxiang and Xie Jie, Dai Yan.
First of all, Nanluoguxiang is the best hutong in Beijing, with a total length of less than 800 meters, close to the central axis of Beijing. It is not the oldest hutong in Beijing, but it is the best preserved block. Seen from the map, its overall scale is like a chessboard. As? At the emperor's feet? Nanluoguxiang Pedestrian Street was once the gathering place of first-class and second-class officials and nobles in Beijing, Plutocratic family Forest, a century-old brand. Today's Nanluoguxiang is still a piece? A treasure trove of feng shui? Rich as an enemy, with a good popularity, Beijing is full of flavor and historical sites are relatively well preserved. Other hutongs always feel gloomy and cold, but this Nanluoguxiang is sunny, warm in winter and cool in summer.
One of the great advantages of Nanluoguxiang is that you can eat the famous time-honored brands in Beijing at one time. Quanjude, Donglaishun, Wenyu Cheese, Daoxiang Village, and some enduring online celebrity stores, such as Miss Hai and Beiping Coffee? A rare snuff bottle on the market, there are also specialty stores here.
Of course, Nanluoguxiang also has disadvantages: the location is expensive and the commodity price is high. After all, I have to say that I have to earn more money to visit Beijing Hutong.

Dai Yan Xie Jie.
What if Nanluoguxiang is one? Snack street? Then Dai Yan Xie Jie is a cultural street. In the late Qing dynasty, it was a place selling antiques, calligraphy and painting, tobacco bags, pots, jade articles and handicrafts, and it still is today.
I strolled from Gongwangfu next to B&B, only 300 meters away, and only an arch bridge separated from Houhai, a famous bar in Beijing. I just always feel that the temperament of this street is a bit? Lofty? Not as close and gentle as Nanluoguxiang.
The security of hutongs in Beijing is very strict now. After 8 pm, most small shops close their doors and turn off the lights. Only this diagonal street with a smoking pipe is brightly lit, reflecting the brilliance of Shichahai. It is a wonderful flower in Beijing Hutong and a rare place to travel at night.

The hutongs in Beijing extend in all directions, and the terrain is complex and criss-crossed, which has a mysterious charm, but there are also some? Dead end? . I wandered in, but I couldn't get around. I met a kind aunt who showed me the way in Lu Yu dialect.
I just found out that most of the old bungalows in hutong were renovated and built during the Republic of China and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and most of them were migrant workers. Many Beijingers who used to live in Beijing moved to commercial houses outside the Fourth Ring Road or even the Fifth Ring Road.
Now? Beijing Hutong Tour? It has become a large-scale, corporate and stylized management. What about riding? Rickshaw? Yes, most of them are from other places. They wear uniforms and drivers have the function of tour guides. Price 150-250 yuan.
