Features: Walking into a Beijing siheyuan or hutong is like stepping into the history of old Beijing, giving it a distinctive "Beijing flavor." Siheyuans have a long history in China, but when one thinks of siheyuans, they often think of Beijing's siheyuans. This is because Beijing siheyuan culture is rich in connotation, fully embodying traditional Chinese residential concepts, and people often regard Beijing siheyuans as the typical representative of Chinese siheyuan architecture. This book, organized into chapters such as hutongs, main streets, siheyuans, royal palaces, and details of these buildings, presents a comprehensive and detailed display of Beijing siheyuans in the form of photographic images. This book is also one of the most popular titles in the "Old Houses" series.
