I prefer the authentic vibe of North Luogu Alley over the commercialized South Luogu Alley.

Transportation Guide:
🚇 Take Metro Line 8 to Shichahai Station, exit A2, then a 10-minute walk to get there.
🚶‍♂️ You can also walk from Andingmen Station on Line 2 or Nanluoguxiang Station on Lines 6 and 8.
(Tip: Compared to South Luogu Alley, this area is much less crowded~)

🌸 Best time to visit:
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons! 🌿
Weekdays before 9 AM or after 5 PM have the fewest people.
(Avoid weekend crowds to fully enjoy taking photos and posing📸)

This old Beijing hutong hidden in the bustling city
really has more flavor than the heavily commercialized South Luogu Alley.
Before it becomes completely popular,
hurry and check it out! 🥰
