Nanluoguxiang

Nanluoguxiang is an alley that starts from Gulou East Street in the north and ends at Ping'an Street in the south. It is 8 meters wide and 787 meters long. It was built at the same time as Yuan Dadu. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing and also a group of traditional residential buildings in Beijing. There are 8 alleys on each side of the east and west. There are also several tourist spots such as former residences and royal palaces on both sides. Nanluoguxiang is now a commercial street, selling all kinds of snacks and handicrafts, including old Beijing handmade bracelets. It is a good place for tourists who like to eat, drink and shop to feel the charm of old Beijing.

Beijing's Nanluoguxiang is famous.
I have been to Beijing so many times, but I have never been there.
Finally, I live very close to Nanluoguxiang this time.
I checked out early and walked for a while, dragging my suitcase.

Turning out from the Bell and Drum Tower, opposite Yandaixie Street,
Turning into a small alley, it looked like there were still residential areas.
This area should already belong to the area of ​​Nanluoguxiang.
Because it was early, there weren't many people around.
The quiet neighborhood still has the feeling of being confused in the early morning.
Occasionally, uncles and aunts walking their dogs pass by.
There is also a peaceful and gentle urban atmosphere.

When we were almost at Nanluoguxiang Pedestrian Street,
There were obviously more people, and it was bustling and noisy.
When you step into the main road, it feels like you have entered another world.
There are crowds of tourists, shops are lined up, and signs indicate the direction.

Walking along the way, passing by various snack bars and shops,
There are traditional old-fashioned shops, such as Wenyu Cheese,
There are more new snack and beverage shops.
There are also shops, such as old-fashioned cheongsam shops and snuff bottle shops.
There are also new brand chains or trendy buyer stores.

After a visit, I clearly felt the collision between tradition and fashion.
Perhaps only in Beijing can the two coexist so harmoniously.

Explore the delicious food in Nanluo
Nanluo was already crowded at night. I played the subway puzzle game and arrived at Nanluo Station. I couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so I came out to satisfy my cravings. The first check-in at the entrance was Wenyu Cheese, a 45 yuan set meal = two double skin milks of any flavor + a cup of hot milk tea. Mango and red bean flavors are recommended, which are delicious and not greasy. There is a "passerby" food house inside, which sells various snacks. I checked in the Internet celebrity rock chicken wings, which are rich in collagen and spicy. There are also dirty tea, rose cakes, shrimp ball skewers, cheese sticks, etc. next to it. Further in is a roast duck restaurant, Quanjude's roast duck burritos, 40 a set + a cup of rock sugar and snow pear water, as well as fried noodles, fried tripe and other old Beijing specialties. Further in, there is a crab roe soup bun that must be checked in. You can drink the buns, the crab roe is rich, and it's super delicious! 25 yuan each. Opposite is the durian cake, which is fragrant and warm, 37 yuan a portion, freshly baked and eaten, so addictive! It is recommended to get a number at the nearby "Miss Fu in Chengdu" before visiting Nanluo. After visiting Nanluo for more than an hour, you can queue up and eat authentic ice jelly, duck blood, skewers, and finally have a bottle of ice-cold Wei Yi soy milk. Perfect! 

This kind of street is common in major cities. Although it may seem boring, you have to visit it once.
The most distinctive thing is the tree.
Occasionally you can see soldiers patrolling in the alleys. This is also a feature of Beijing that you won’t see in other places.
Hutong is also one of the architectural features of Beijing. When you come to Beijing, you can eat roast duck, visit the Great Wall, and visit the hutong. The hutong in Nanluoguxiang is the most preserved characteristic hutong. The alley is not long, and you can quickly reach the South Gate.

To visit the alleys, we took a rickshaw with a business license, not an illegal taxi. The driver explained it well. It cost 280 yuan per rickshaw, and he took a few people to visit 8 or 9 alleys: Yuer Hutong, Maoer Hutong, Heizhima Hutong (Paper Horse Hutong), Beibingmasi Hutong, Houyuanen Temple Hutong, Banchang Hutong, Qinlao Hutong, etc. We also visited the Qi Baishi Memorial Hall, Chiang Kai-shek's headquarters, the Central Academy of Drama, Wanrong's former residence, etc. It was very interesting!

Nanluoguxiang is a hutong located in Jiaodaokou area on the east side of Beijing's central axis. It starts from Gulou East Street in the north and ends at Ping'an Street in the south. It is 8 meters wide and 787 meters long. It was built at the same time as Yuan Dadu. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing with a history of more than 740 years. It is also listed among the 25 planned old city protection areas. Because its terrain is high in the middle and low in the north and south, like a hunchback, it is named Luogouxiang. In the Qing Dynasty, the "Complete Map of the Capital" drawn in the 15th year of Qianlong (1750) was renamed Nanluoguxiang.

【Nanluoguxiang】is one of the most popular representatives of the old Beijing hutongs, and is also the first choice for literary and artistic young people to get to know the flavor of old Beijing. Walking in Nanluoguxiang and meeting Beijing's local veterans in the alleys is equivalent to listening to a special episode of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The old Beijing hutongs are very interesting places, and the elderly in the hutongs are even more interesting lecturers.
I don't need to explain too much, everyone knows that this place is a representative of Beijing, one of the top ten tourist streets in the country, and the most popular scenic spot in Beijing. The streets are always full of tourists, and it is really bustling with people, a very prosperous scene.
Of course, there are all kinds of people in the world, and there will always be some monsters and ghosts making trouble in popular places like Nanluoguxiang. It is said that you can see these Kuaishou brothers and Douyin sisters singing and dancing every day.
To be honest, Nanluoguxiang is suitable for people who come here for the first time or bring their girlfriends to visit like me. It is not suitable for travel enthusiasts who want to deeply check in the Beijing Hutong culture. The alleys and main streets here have been changed into commercial blocks, and there is no pure and quiet old Hutong charm.
Perhaps what we prefer is a small courtyard without bright lights and nightlife, where an old man sits outside the door to enjoy the cool air, chatting about interesting things in Beijing, with a big yellow dog sleeping next to him and a cat chasing fallen leaves on the wall.
Hutong is the place where old Beijingers live their daily lives, not a place full of shouting and Yiwu small commodities. Unfortunately, Nanluoguxiang has lost these flavors.
However, everything has its pros and cons. Although Nanluoguxiang is heavily commercialized, it is extremely convenient for eating, drinking and having fun compared to Beiluoguxiang and other old alleys. There is a cheese shop on the street that smells very good. You can smell it when you walk outside the door. You can also see how popular its business is by looking at the tourists queuing outside the door.
This snack is delicious and not expensive. You can buy a lot of it for 20 yuan.

Nanluoguxiang is one of the 25 old city protection areas. It is 786 meters long and is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing. It is the only chessboard-style traditional residential area in my country that has completely preserved the courtyard structure of the Yuan Dynasty Hutong. It is the largest, highest-grade, and most resource-rich chessboard-style traditional residential area. Nowadays, there are personalized shops with various styles and various exquisite and fashionable private restaurants here. The combination of old Beijing Hutong and petty bourgeoisie has become a fashion landmark in Beijing. If you want to experience the old Beijing style quietly, you can look for it in the Hutongs on both sides. Many celebrity residences and historical buildings will definitely make your trip worthwhile.
Every time I come to Nanluoguxiang, there is a different atmosphere! No matter when, it is always crowded! Many shops change quickly, and the Internet celebrity food shops also change rapidly with the times. When I came here in 2017, I liked to eat something, but now I can't find it! What a pity! Maybe this is the difference between big cities and small cities.
Nanluoguxiang still has a strong commercial atmosphere, and the snacks sold there are relatively expensive, but since you are infected by the atmosphere, it doesn’t matter how expensive it is. When you come to Nanluoguxiang, the purpose is to eat!

Nanluoguxiang is a tourist attraction developed from the old Beijing hutongs, a bit like Pingjiang Road and Shantang Street in Suzhou, and even many of the shops are national chain stores. So we skipped the various shops on the main street and walked through every alley along Nanluoguxiang from south to north.
I have walked almost all the alleys on both sides of Nanluoguxiang. Walking in the alleys of Beijing in late autumn, I have a sense of trance. I can accidentally come across the former residences of celebrities, courtyards full of fireworks, and cute animals...
The randomly placed electric bikes and mottled door frames are full of the flavor of everyday life.

Nanluoguxiang has a strong commercial atmosphere, almost all of it is filled with tourists. Basically, no matter if the store is related to old Beijing or not, it is always crowded with people.
If you drive there, there is a large ground parking lot on the south side of Nanluo, with plenty of parking spaces. The hourly rate is 3 yuan per quarter of an hour.
The control measures during the epidemic are in name only and basically useless.

Nanluoguxiang is also one of the old city protection areas. There was a news report that Beijing Nanluoguxiang stopped receiving tourist groups, which gave me a preliminary understanding of Nanluoguxiang. However, I was surprised that this alley starting from Gulou East Street in the north had nothing to do with "gongs and drums". It is said that the name "Luogu" originated from "Luogu".

After reading the guide, the subway was very convenient, but not as good as I imagined. It was too commercial, with all kinds of small shops and expensive things. I walked all the way to Houhai and Shichahai, which was quite beautiful. There were resident singers in the bars on Houhai Bar Street. I took a rickshaw around the lake and there were explanations. It was nice to walk around the streets and alleys, stroll around the hutongs and listen to stories.

Nanluoguxiang is not the Nanluoguxiang of the past. It is more beautiful than before, but most of the things are not authentic anymore, and the prices are much higher! Some businesses have very poor service, such as the one in the picture. They don’t even give you an empty bowl when you consume in the store. The food is cut corners and does not match the promotion at all. A customer asked for an empty bowl and was charged 10 yuan! Unscrupulous profiteers! The food is not delicious and very expensive. It is a scam for tourists from other places!

Nanluoguxiang is one of the most popular attractions in Beijing. It is a must-visit place for almost every tourist who comes to Beijing to check in. It is a successful commercial street created by humans. It is a gathering place for the petty bourgeoisie, internet celebrities and tourists. It is just covered with the coat of the old Beijing hutong, which makes it more popular. It is a bit similar to the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys in Fuzhou and Tianzifang in Shanghai.
It happened to be the Spring Festival when I went there. I won't talk about the people there. I just went there to see the flow of people. From south to north, I felt like I was being pushed around. People lined up everywhere to buy food. Actually, I want to say that the food there really doesn't have much Beijing characteristics. It's just that the decoration style is more petite and younger. Similar brands and stores can be found on almost every commercial street. Maybe it's just a different style. It may also be that there are too many similar commercial streets with antique-style or cultural and artistic atmosphere in other cities. I really don't feel anything. In summary, it feels no different from normal shopping.
Nanluoguxiang is more like a check-in spot for me. I have been there and was a little disappointed. It is nothing special. Maybe it is too commercial and too busy, and it lacks the feeling of the old Beijing hutong. Maybe Beiluoguxiang or Wudaoying across the street have a more hutong feeling than Nanluoguxiang, which is more quiet and has more neighborhood flavor.
With the rapid development of tourism and commerce, Wudaoying and other places may become like Nanluoguxiang in the future, completely reduced to commercial appendages, and no longer have the so-called hutong culture. It is a pity to think about it. If you really want to check in at Nanluoguxiang, it is also recommended to choose a day with few people. National Day, Spring Festival and other major holidays are really not suitable, because there are only people everywhere.
My personal suggestion is that if you just want to stroll around, it doesn't matter if you walk down the street. If you want to eat snacks, buy things, or visit the hutongs, it is recommended to choose other places. For Beijing specialty snacks, you can go directly to the time-honored stores. Nanluoguxiang only has fast-moving consumer goods, because it is a business, and food delivery efficiency is very important. If you want to visit the hutongs, the surrounding small hutongs are more flavorful than it. The nearby Beiluoguxiang or Wudaoying are both good choices. I personally prefer Beiluoguxiang. Although it is separated by a street and there is a world of difference, this hutong has not yet been influenced by the strong commercial atmosphere and still retains the original flavor of the hutong. The newly opened scattered petty bourgeoisie shops and the original shops and residents in the hutong are harmoniously combined together, giving you the feeling of visiting the old Beijing hutongs. You can visit the hutongs and take photos and check in.

Nanluoguxiang is located in Jiaodaokou area on the east side of Beijing's central axis. It starts from Gulou East Street in the north and ends at Ping'an Street in the south. It is 8 meters wide and 786 meters long. It was built at the same time as Yuan Dadu. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing and has a history of more than 740 years. Let's briefly talk about Nanluoguxiang:
1. Because Nanluoguxiang is quite large, many buses pass through it, but the most recommended way is to take Metro Line 6 or Line 8 and get off at Exit E of Nanluoguxiang Station, which is the South Gate of Guxiang.
2. Nanluoguxiang is an open-style old Beijing hutong culture. Although there is no access control, most shops and stalls are open from 9:00 to 2:00, and it is also a good place for nightlife;
3. The highly recommended shops include Wenyu Cheese Shop for desserts, Band-Aid 8 for T-shirts, Lotte Pottery Society for pottery, Passerby and Xiaoxin's for Western food, Yakiniku Ren for Japanese barbecue, Chuanyun Books for books and CDs, and Guitar Bar for guitar enthusiasts, etc.
4. The more famous attractions include: the Sengwang Mansion spanning Chaodou and Banchang Hutongs, the Central Academy of Drama which was formerly the residence of Duan Qirui and Jin Yunpeng, Keyuan Garden at No. 7-15 Maoer Hutong, the maiden home of the last empress Wanrong at No. 3537 Maoer Hutong, the former residence of Mao Dun at No. 13 Houyuanensi Hutong, the headquarters of Chiang Kai-shek at No. 7 Houyuanensi Hutong, Juer Hutong, etc.

In the Qing Dynasty, the "Complete Map of the Capital" drawn in the 15th year of Qianlong (1750) was renamed Nanluoguxiang. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing. It is the only chessboard-style traditional residential area in my country that has completely preserved the texture of the Yuan Dynasty hutong courtyards, the largest scale, the highest grade, and the richest resources. It is also the street with the most old Beijing style. The various forms of mansions and houses in the surrounding hutongs are colorful, heavy and profound. Nanluoguxiang and its surrounding areas were once the city center of Yuan Dadu. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a place of great wealth and honor. The streets and alleys here were crowded with dignitaries and there were countless royal palaces. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of Nanluoguxiang slowly came to an end.

It was crowded, and the subway exit was full of people. I remember that I went there in August 2014 and ate Kung Pao Chicken Pizza in a store to celebrate my birthday.
It was crowded. The subway exit was full of people. I remember I went there in August 2014. I ate Kung Pao Chicken Pizza in a store.

If you come to Beijing and want to see the old alleys or enjoy the night view, I strongly recommend Nanluoguxiang, which is especially suitable for young people. There are many specialty shops in it, which are small and beautiful and very interesting.

Nanluoguxiang and Shichahai are next to each other, and the subway can go directly to Nanluoguxiang. It is an old hutong architectural style attraction in Beijing. There are many shops selling things on the long street. It is very pleasant to drink in the bar of Shichahai at night.

Basically every city has such a so-called folk street. The various small shops are very similar. There are five or six shops on Daoxiangcun Street alone. There is nothing interesting about it. It is purely an Internet celebrity attraction.

There are many old alleys nearby, but you can't go in to visit them. I didn't expect there is a school in the alleys. I tried a sticky bean bun, which is actually rice cake from Guangxi, and it costs 15 yuan. I saw an old Beijing fried noodles with soybean paste, and many people were eating it. I don't know if it tastes good. There are many former residences of celebrities in the alleys, but they were closed on Monday, which is a pity.
There is also the so-called Nanluoguxiang, which has become a commercial street. It has a strong commercial atmosphere and is crowded with people. It feels like only tourists would go there to check in.

Nanluoguxiang Hutong in Beijing is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing. It is a north-south hutong. Nanluoguxiang Hutong is connected to 16 hutongs on the east and west sides, namely Juer Hutong, Qiangulouyuan Hutong, Houyuanensi Hutong, Heizhima Hutong, Qianyuanensi Hutong, Shajing Hutong, Qinlao Hutong, Jingyang Hutong, Beibingmasi Hutong, Maoer Hutong, Dongmianhua Hutong, Yuer Hutong, Banchang Hutong, Suoyi Hutong, Chaodou Hutong, Fuxiang Hutong. For example, Nanluoguxiang is a spine, and the 16 hutongs on both sides are like ribs, closely connected with Nanluoguxiang, just like the relationship between streets and alleys in the Tang Dynasty. There is a phrase in old Beijing, "neighbors and so on", which is from this. In the early years, there were not many commercial shops in the hutongs. There was a grocery store at the entrance of Shajing Hutong, but it was closed later. A lot of wine shops and shops of all sizes emerged in the hutongs, so this place became the favorite place for young people to stroll, and also became the code name of Beijing. In fact, if you compare the hutongs of Dongsi and Xisi, you can feel that the quiet and peaceful is the real taste of old Beijing. Then the reader asked again, if this is the case, why do you have to recommend this place? Because it is too famous. If you have the opportunity, you can come and walk around in person. In fact, you should walk to the hutongs on the east and west sides of Nanluoguxiang, and maybe you can find the original flavor of old Beijing.

There are many small shops on the street, and you can also pet the cats in front of the shops. It will be more beautiful if you go there at night.

The experience places are similar all over the country. They are the kind of places you will regret not coming, and will regret even more if you come.

Eat and stroll along this street, which is also a landmark of Beijing Hutong. You can finish the tour in half an hour.

It's a very narrow road, surrounded by small commercial shops, and there is no special cultural atmosphere.

The famous Nanluoguxiang has convenient transportation and a large flow of people, so it is worth a visit.

The style is very unique but it is obviously a later renovation and is a bit artificial.

It's too commercialized, and there's no Hutong charm at all. Especially on weekends, it's crowded. So I give it a bad review. I'll post some photos of the nearby Hutongs.

A must-visit art check-in spot in Beijing, where the quaint alleys and modern stores complement each other, and there are many internet-famous stores, but there are just too many people!!!

台灣墾丁大街～武漢戶部巷～廣西東西巷～天津食品街～哈哈哈哈遊客魂上身的人才會去的吧！！坑

It is a commercial street with snacks and old Beijing characteristics. I walked into a small noodle restaurant and found that the resident performances were good.

Come on, come on. I want to fight. Work hard to make money.

It's worth a visit, it feels literary! Recommended

Oh my god, here it comes again. Didn’t I upload it once today?
I bought a scarf and a hat there, they are too thick, I have never worn them

Too many people. Didn't go in. Went around the alleys. Not bad

Nice place, lots of food, tastes good! I didn't try many popular snacks because I was too full

It's worth going. Although there are many people, it's not exaggerated. It's very lively. Shopping depends on your mentality and economic level. The most important thing is to have fun.

2018.8.10 Very good, just stroll slowly and slowly~

How can I say commercialization? How can such a famous alley in Beijing not be commercialized? It is also near the central axis. If you are tired of walking, you can rent a human-powered tricycle to take you around the alley. It is very close to Prince Gong's Mansion and Houhai.

Nanluoguxiang is located in the center of Beijing. It is a hutong that combines the petty bourgeoisie and the charm of old Beijing. It is also one of Beijing's fashion landmarks. There are many literary and artistic specialty shops here, as well as a wide variety of snacks. Young people, especially literary youth, often regard this place as a must-go place when visiting Beijing.

I came here to eat because I saw Fengfeng's recommendation. The taste is very good, not that the bowl of condiments is a bit salty. It's a buffet. Friends who like to eat meat and big eaters should not miss it.

The number of tourists should be limited here. The number of tourists should be limited here. The number of tourists should be limited here. It's important to say it three times. We came out within two minutes of entering. It was packed with people and we could only follow the crowd. It should be a completely commercialized place like Confucius Temple. There is nothing to visit.

Beijing’s ancient cultural alleys are a bit like Guangzhou’s Beijing Road.

The main street has a strong commercial atmosphere, with many Internet celebrity shops, which are expensive and not very tasty. You can stroll through the small alleys on both sides, where there are many celebrity residences and historical buildings.

Every city has those characteristic alleys, which are relatively well developed, have many shops and are very lively, and the things sold are relatively good value.

Enter from the Nanluoguxiang archway and start strolling. There are a lot of people. Be careful to keep your belongings. The names of the shops inside are very unique.

It turns out that this is a food pedestrian street... I was a little disappointed. Many stores were located at a certain distance from each other, which was repetitive.
Also, the food on this street is sold in bundles of two. The second one is half price. The first one is quite expensive. A puff costs 20.

We went there at night, and it was basically a street of snacks and souvenirs. I think it's fine to just walk around. If you don't like shopping and eating snacks, you don't have to go. To be honest, the commercial atmosphere inside is very strong. I walked around and left.

....Must buy fridge magnets and postcards when traveling. Everything is good, the only thing is...why are the prices so expensive?

The food is very expensive. It has been renovated to look like an internet-famous tourist attraction, but it is actually no longer the original Nanluoguxiang. The shop rents have increased tenfold over the years. No wonder it’s so rip-off!

I went there in August 2018. After the renovation, it has a distinct Beijing flavor. Although it is still not perfect, it is much better than before. The shops on both sides of the main channel are arranged rationally, and the intersection of the alleys is obviously much wider. There are still many tourists, but the comfort level has been greatly improved.

For Beijing natives, it is a bit like Wangfujing. It is usually a place to check in when visiting Beijing. If you have something to do, you can go there for a stroll and it is full of people, noisy and noisy.

Going east along Di'anmen, you will reach Nanluoguxiang, another well-known place. This is the old Beijing hutong area, all of which are well-proportioned bungalows with tiled roofs, very similar to the Chaoshan folk houses of Sidianjin and Xiashanhu. There is a main street here, Nanluoguxiang, which runs north and south. On both sides are various specialty shops, including milk tea shops, international youth hostels, clothing stores, and CD stores, similar to Hefang Street in Hangzhou. Every city has a tourist specialty street, and Beijing should have Nanluoguxiang. It feels a bit Beijing-style, but it is becoming more and more like the specialty streets in other cities.

Nanluoguxiang is a hutong located in Jiaodaokou area on the east side of Beijing's central axis. It starts from Gulou East Street in the north and ends at Ping'an Street in the south. It is 8 meters wide and 787 meters long. It was built at the same time as Yuan Dadu. It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing with a history of more than 740 years. It is also listed among the 25 planned old city protection areas. Because its terrain is high in the middle and low in the north and south, like a hunchback, it is named Luogouxiang. In the Qing Dynasty, the "Complete Map of the Capital" drawn in the 15th year of Qianlong (1750) was renamed Nanluoguxiang.

Alleys and streets with old Beijing characteristics, a very nice place

Many people say that Nanluoguxiang is too commercial and not worth going to, but since I'm in Beijing, I still want to check it out. About 500 meters from the Drum Tower is the north entrance of Nanluoguxiang, and then all the way south into the alley is Nanluoguxiang, and at the end is the Nanluoguxiang subway station. There are a lot of people in Nanluoguxiang at night, and the commercial atmosphere is indeed quite strong, and there are also some more unique shops.

It is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing. It is the only chessboard-style traditional residential area in my country that has completely preserved the texture of the Yuan Dynasty hutong courtyards. It is the largest, highest-grade, and most resource-rich chessboard-style traditional residential area. It is also the street with the most old Beijing style. The various forms of mansions and houses in the surrounding hutongs are colorful and profound. Nanluoguxiang and the surrounding areas were once the city center of Yuan Dadu. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was a place of great wealth. The streets and alleys here were crowded with dignitaries and there were countless royal palaces. It was not until the fall of the Qing Dynasty that the prosperity of Nanluoguxiang slowly came to an end.

Personally, I think this place is too commercialized. You can only feel like you are in Nanluoguxiang if you walk into the alleys next to the main street.

It's right next to the subway, very close, and crowded. There are food, clothes, accessories, and everything in the alleys. My mother said that these houses are so low, they must not be afraid of typhoons.
I ate stewed pork and spicy tofu in a small shop...
The stewed pork is a bit like the beef offal we eat, and the spicy tofu is like bean paste... Well, I'm not used to it...

Enter a main passage and walk a distance to the side alleys on the left and right.
I was in a hurry and didn't go to the branch alley.
Perhaps there are more authentic houses with a more Beijing flavor hidden inside.

Nanluoguxiang, the famous Wenyu cheese, dried fruit flavor, delicious

(30 minutes): I am not used to walking on the busy streets alone. In fact, the commercial streets all look familiar. The commercial streets you can name (Chongqing Ciqikou/Shanghai Tianzifang...) all have their own shadows. I suggest you come here to buy souvenirs. There are many beautiful postcards here. In fact, a girl called me on the road, but I immediately refused her. I thought she was selling... so I refused her. After I refused, I found out that it was an interview. I am sorry to this girl: (. The Central Academy of Drama is in Nanluoguxiang, but I looked at Nanluoguxiang and there is no delicious food, unlike Shenzhen University, which has a chicken pot street...
(There is an alley in Nanluoguxiang that leads to Shichahai. You can go there from here, but you must find a shared bicycle on the way. Because I walked there, it seemed very close when looking at the map, but it was actually a bit far to walk there. It would be easier if I rode a bicycle.)

This alley is quite long and runs from north to south. It sells food, drinks and entertainment. There are many young people.

Nanluoguxiang is a famous hutong in Beijing, but it is extremely commercialized and you can't feel the feeling of old Beijing at all. It is so crowded that you can't even squeeze in. I have a special liking for the hutong and I had to squeeze in to take a look.

Nanluoguxiang, Yandaixie Street, Houhai, very lively at night

There are many delicious foods hidden here, such as Wenyu Cheese Shop, the best mixed noodles in Beijing, etc. There are also many specialty shops. As long as you can eat it, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Rows of bright red lanterns tell us that we have arrived at Nanluoguxiang. It was originally the most crowded alley in Beijing. Because of the Chinese New Year, it is not so crowded, but it is still very lively. There are mainly small shops selling snacks, but the things are very expensive and have no special features. There are many rickshaw drivers in the alley. Not only do they pull people, but they will also tell you about the buildings on the street one by one, which prince lived here before, and what kind of stories there were, with a thick Beijing accent, and they talk endlessly. If you are interested, you can take a ride, or just stand in front of a building, and you will soon hear the stories told by the rickshaw driver passing by. There are many former residences of celebrities in Nanluoguxiang. In fact, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this place has always been a "rich area" where many dignitaries and celebrities have lived, from generals of the Ming Dynasty to princes of the Qing Dynasty, from the president of the Beiyang government to the president of the Kuomintang, from literary masters to painting masters, and every alley here has left traces of history. There is a photo exhibition of Wanrong, where you are not allowed to take pictures, but you can see the beauty of this legendary last queen in it.

A very famous old alley in Beijing, many tourists come here every day

Nanluoguxiang, the name is very poetic. Walking there, you will pass many old Beijing alleys. It is similar to the pedestrian streets, snack streets and night markets in all cities. I didn’t buy anything. It was just like that. I personally feel that my original weight was 140 catties.

It is very commercial and commercial. For tourists who take a quick glance, what is the difference between this place and the Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, Tianzifang in Shanghai, and Gulangyu in Xiamen? Maybe only the old Beijingers know its beauty?

It is similar to the Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu. It is also good to have time to take a closer look.

In my eyes, it really has a strong Beijing flavor and commercial flavor!

There are crowds of people, and there are crowds of people everywhere. It is a very commercial ancient alley. There are people to eat and things to buy. There are still people everywhere, and it is a sea of ​​people coming and going.

The old town is relatively intact and has a large flow of people. You can taste many snacks.
