Worth visiting!
hutong culture
Peking have lots of hutongs,when I was a child.My grandmother’s house was in a hutong, this hutong is very nerrow,and grandmother’s house is very small but I remembered there had a lot of fun. there had a little place between my grandmother’s house and her neighbor(they were lived in one yard).but on this little land there had lots of plants. Most were jasmine, they had lots of colors ,like red,white,pink,yellow… they were so beautiful,and there also had a big honeysuckle tree.when summer come ,lots of yellow and white honeysuckle flowers were blooming,and the flower also can pick as tea for drink.This little yard record my happiest time in my childhood.
every hutong has a special name,every name may also has a intereting history,and some of them have used hundreds of years, hutong is peking’s special culture,They record this centuries-old city’s development and story.
