Hutong Tour (Follow in the footsteps of Old Beijing) \x0d\ 1. Tourists take the old Beijing traditional transport tricycles (each with two people) at the starting point of the hutong tour about 100 meters west of the north gate (back door) of Beihai Park, and arrive at the first stop of the tour-Drum Tower under the guidance of the tour guide.

The tour guide leads the guests to the Drum Tower, overlooking the East-West Hutong on both sides of the central axis, explaining the history of Beijing, the urban pattern and the formation of Hutong, and visiting the quadrangle model. \x0d\2。 After leaving the Drum Tower, the guests took a tricycle across the hutong, walked along Shichahai for a while, got off at Yinding Bridge, walked in the hutong with folk customs in Beijing accompanied by a tour guide, listened to the tour guide explain the cultural connotation of Beijing hutong and quadrangle, saw the traditional lifestyle in the hutong, and visited the quadrangle of ordinary residents' houses to chat with residents and learn about people's living habits and customs. \x0d\3。 Tourists take tricycles to Gongwangfu Garden, which is known as the Grand View Garden of the Red Chamber. Gongwangfu Garden is the mansion of aristocratic families in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Hutong. Built in 1779, covering an area of 3 hectares. It is the most well-preserved palace in the Qing Dynasty. The tour guide accompanied the tourists through the charming garden of the Imperial Palace-Cui Jin Garden, visited the Peking Opera House where aristocratic families used to hold social activities, and compared the lifestyle and environment of aristocratic families with ordinary people. Visitors can rest, drink tea and eat snacks in Gongwangfu Garden. \x0d\ Beijing Hutong Tour Route 2 \ x0d \ Hutong is a good way to understand Beijing's traditional culture and customs. \x0d\ First stop: Fayuan Temple in Xizhuan Hutong. Take the tram 102 and get off at Jiaozi Hutong Station. Go south about 800 meters. There are quite a few buildings in hutong that are worth stopping to study, and Fayuan Temple is more important because of its rich history and culture. In February this year, Li Ao's novel Fayuan Temple was nominated by Nobel Prize in Literature, and books and temples that had been neglected by the world became hot spots. Although there are many fictions in the book, the basic historical facts are well founded. Come and have a look, it will help you understand the value of Fayuan Temple. The lilacs in Fayuan Temple are very famous, and they are called Xiang Xuehai, and they are also called the three major flowers in Gyeonggi together with Chongyou Peony and Gongwangfu Begonia. Friends who love flowers, please pay attention when swimming. \x0d\ Second stop: Ping 'an Street Government. Take bus 102 to Xisi, then transfer to bus 13 to Shidiao Station and get off at the opposite side of the road. This used to be Duan's official residence during the Beiyang government. The architecture combines Chinese and western, and the brick carving in the main building is amazing. There are many important historical events related to this place, such as the massacre in front of this gate mentioned by Mr. Lu Xun in his article "In Memory of Liu Hezhen". The shadow wall that witnessed history was liberated from the original house and repainted in the renovation of Ping 'an Avenue last year. Don't forget to have a look when traveling. \x0d\ Third stop: Bi Yong Hall in Chengxian Street. Take the 13 bus and get off at imperial academy Station. Chengxian Street is an alley with archways in the west. "Cheng Xian" refers to Confucius, a great sage. The second largest Confucius Temple in China is on the east side of Hutong. Confucius Temple is important, but when it comes to the value of ancient buildings, imperial academy Biyong Hall is not inferior to it. Biyong is the lecture hall of the emperors of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in front of Yilun Hall, behind the glazed archway and surrounded by white marble with four doors and four bridges. The grand hall is a masterpiece of ancient architecture in China. Mr. Lu Xun used to arrange bamboo slips in the palace of the former dynasty in the temple. Today, there seems to be a short and thin figure busy. The glazed archway mentioned earlier, also known as the "Garden Pass Translation" archway, is also one of the few existing archways of the same kind, and its beauty makes people pause. \x0d\ Fourth stop: Bailin Temple in Xilou Hutong. Out of the east exit of Chengxian Street, across the street is Opera Hutong. The ancient trees in Bailin Temple are very famous, including a Polo tree, which was listed as one of the 34 strange trees in Beijing during the Republic of China. It's a pity that no one in the temple can tell whether the tree is still there. The name of the temple is Berlin, and there are naturally many coopers among the trees. But now the precious ancient trees in the temple seem to have put the Millennium Ginkgo, the 700-year-old Pinus bungeana and the 300-year-old Sophora japonica in the front. No wonder ancestors worshipped trees. When you read all the vicissitudes of ancient trees suddenly appear in front of you, you will have the desire to land on your knees. \x0d\ Among the above scenic spots, except Fayuan Temple, you can visit them for free. All the way down, the ticket price is around 10 yuan, which is really good but not expensive. It is free because some cultural units (such as the Library of Renmin University of China, the Capital Library and China Cultural Relics) are now using it. Most people in these units know that their place is an important cultural heritage left by Zong Yi, and they are very polite to tourists. \x0d\ Perhaps because these heritages have been neglected, ordinary people living in the above streets often talk with people who come to look for "treasures" with unusual enthusiasm. So the words "Beijing" and "Beijingers" will suddenly make you feel the depth of history and the temperature of human feelings. \x0d\ Hutong tourism adds color to Beijing —— "Hutong tour" introduces "upstream water" \ x0d \ Shichahai is a bright pearl in Beijing. Thirty-four hectares of water rippled with blue waves and weeping willows covered the palace. Temples, bell and drum towers and former residences of celebrities. After hundreds of years of historical changes, this place still maintains the style of the old capital. Walking along the coast and standing on the Yinding Bridge, you can overlook the western hills and the lake. Walking into the winding hutong, there are scattered quadrangles, and there is a pleasure of observing the wind and asking the customs. \x0d\ Go to Hutong to experience yesterday's Hutong in Beijing, which is a unique hutong in Beijing.

During the day, tourists can have tea and snacks on the boat, and they can also visit palaces, temples and celebrities' former residences around the water area with the boat.

The ship crossed the Yinding Bridge and rocked to Houhai. Tourists enjoy tea and snacks and light music until night falls and the full moon rises.

Visitors can also book all kinds of snacks in old Beijing and send them to the ship. \x0d\ Far view: Xu Yong, who is visiting Jingshan Mountain in Beijing, recently made up his mind about Jingshan Mountain and the Forbidden City, and made many suggestions to BTG Group, hoping to dig an underground tunnel in Shenwumen. He has repeatedly said that the idea of digging a tunnel is not impulsive. He thinks there are many tourists in the Forbidden City and few tourists in Jingshan. Jingshan is the commanding height of Beijing. Standing on Jingshan Mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Beijing. There are many tall buildings outside the Second Ring Road, which is modern Beijing. West of the Second Ring Road, the hutongs are neat.
