Xizhuan Hutong

Step into Xizhuan Hutong and be transported to old Beijing! This century-old alley near Qianmen hides authentic courtyard houses with weathered grey bricks and carved doorstep guardians. Rent a bike to explore hidden hipster cafes and artisan shops tucked around corners - don't miss grabbing candied hawthorns at dusk while eavesdropping on locals' lively chats in the quadrangle. Pure Beijing vibes!
