Beijing, Beijing, China - August 08, 2014: The Hutong Neighborhoods in Bejing China

$Hutong are a type of narrow street or alley commonly associated with northern Chinese cities, especially Beijing.\nIn Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences. Many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another. The word hutong is also used to refer to such neighbourhoods.\n\nSince the mid-20th century, many Beijing hutongs were demolished to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, however, many hutongs have been designated as protected, in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history. Hutongs were first established in the Yuan dynasty (1279–1368) and then expanded in the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties.$

Beijing China - June 8, 2018: Hutong called narrow Beijing streets, in which local residents began to settle more than 800 years ago. According to the officially accepted version of the word, this comes from the Mongolian word well. In the old days, Beijing streets were built in a strictly defined order, exclusively along straight lines from east to west or from north to south. The width of the Hutong should have been exactly 9.3 m. Over time, a clear pattern is erased, and now through the narrow streets you can wander around for hours, like in a maze.
