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