Beihexin Hutong

Step into Beihexin Hutong and be enveloped by old Beijing's charm! This narrow alley hidden in the metropolis boasts well-preserved courtyard houses, where weathered grey bricks and carved wooden gateways whisper centuries of history. Don't miss the family-run braised meat shop at the entrance – their melt-in-your-mouth pork knuckle stewed in a 100-year-old broth, paired with zhajiang noodles, defines authentic flavors. At dusk, chat with locals fanning themselves on bamboo chairs to experience the living heritage of hutong life.
