Baozhuzi Hutong

Step into Baozhuzi Hutong and time-travel to old Beijing! Nestled between modern streets, this narrow alley charms with grey-brick courtyards and ornamental gate arches. Follow the aroma of street-food stalls selling candied hawthorns and zhajiangm noodles, or peek into locals playing chess under tiled roofs. Keep an eye out for intricate animal carvings on eaves—these mythical guardians whisper tales of the capital's past.
