Beijing Hutong Culture Activity


Beijing Hutongs, is not only the roads of this city, but also the main place where common Beijingers live. The Hutongs record the history and legend of this ancient capital which was built as a capital from Jin Dynasty around the 12th Century. Mostly, the Hutongs are formed from the Yuan Dynasty around the 13th Century. Hutong is just the pronunciation in Mongolian.

 

It`s said that every Hutong has its own unusual story. In inner city of Beijing, you enter any Hutong and rich history & culture will amaze you.

 

For example, in Beijing the most famous Hutongs are Nanluoguxiang, Yandaixiejie, MaoerHutong, Guozijianjie, Liulichang, Goldfish Hutong, Dongjiaominxiang, Xijiaominxiang, Juer Hutong & Badahutong.  Let`s talk about the Nanluoguxiang, which is formed in Yuan Dynasty and ever was the city center of Yuan Dynasty`s Capital. In this 700-old Hutong, there are lots of celebrities`s residence like Chiang Kai Shek`s old house, Sengwang Mansion, and the last queen`s old house.

 

Now more and more skyscrapers are built in the metropolitan city- Beijing, and the Hutongs are indeed less and less. Please enter into the old Hutongs, and explore the Hutongs to experience hidden culture & folks in Beijing.  We would like to share some meaningful activities which lead you to totally immerse into Hutong culture.
