Step into Xintaicang Hengjie and time-travel to old Beijing! This hutong alley preserves authentic grey-brick courtyard houses that coexist with hipster cafés, where the aroma of fried intestines and stewed organs wafts through the air. Locals playing chess under century-old trees create a living postcard of local life. Come at sunset to capture golden light dancing on weathered walls, then grab a legendary 'Menkuang Hutong' stuffed pancake - that crispy pig intestine burger will blow your mind!
