Admire a preserved section of traditional architecture dating back to the Yuan Dynasty at Nanluoguxiang, one of the city's most historic areas. Explore this 0.8 km (0.5 mi) long stretch to browse an array of shops, street vendors, and restaurants, and observe a number of hutong, traditional homes that feature walled courtyards opening out onto the street. Go for a stroll along the section of the street that abuts the expansive canal, or simply bring along your camera to snap a few photos of the stout Drum Tower and colorfully painted building fronts. Plan to see Nanluoguxiang and other attractions that appeal to you using our Beijing trip builder.

Very long hutong shopping street. A lot of young people go here espesially in the evening until night. But not as crowded as shichahai.

One of the best hutong neighbourhood in Beijing. It's near a local art school. Lots of small restaurants and art stores with good services.

I have always loved this place, all time favourite. Hmmmmm.... But now it's become way toooooooo commercial. Used to be a tucked away alley with many unique boutiques and cafes, and owners were often do chatty that you can easily spend an afternoon chatting about life Now it's inside-out tourist destination/street food galore! 😢
