Features: Just like "Exploring the Imperial Gardens," visiting Beijing and strolling through hutongs have become an integral part of Beijing's distinctive tourism culture. This book guides readers through the temporal tunnel of ancient Beijing culture, taking them deep into the hutongs to touch the threads of history. The architecture of siheyuan courtyards, the art of gate towers, ancient door sills, unique couplets, extraordinary stone carvings from opera houses, and much more—all of these are like petals plucked from the depths of the streets, explained vividly and selectively by the author. Additionally, the book introduces three reference-worthy classic hutong tour routes, and the illustrations of Beijing hutong folk customs can bring readers a heartfelt smile. The text is fluent, the images are beautiful, and the cultural appreciation value and practical tourism reference value of the book are highly anticipated.
