Which hutong in Beijing has the most literary flavor? Looking for a one-day tour route?

Hutong in Beijing is a place that makes people feel at ease and comfortable. Among these hutongs full of Beijing flavor, there is a minority route full of literary flavor, which can bring a very pleasant experience.

If the most literary hutong is Wudaoying Hutong.

Wudaoying Hutong is a place that I personally like very much, because it retains its unique historical features and strong cultural atmosphere in this busy city of Beijing. Every time I walk into this hutong, I can feel a quiet and leisurely atmosphere.

The old houses, winding alleys and traditional red brick and gray tile walls in the hutong make me feel like I am in the past. Walking in Wudaoying Hutong, you can see many well-preserved traditional buildings in Beijing, all with distinctive courtyards and exquisite doors and windows. These houses reveal a strong historical atmosphere, which makes me imagine the past time.

The food stalls that can be seen everywhere in the hutongs are even more mouth-watering. I like to try all kinds of traditional old Beijing snacks, such as fried crunch, bean juice, pot helmet and so on. These snacks exude attractive fragrance, which makes me fully experience the food culture in Beijing. In hot summer, a bowl of cool bean curd or a bowl of cool mung bean soup is definitely a pleasure.

In addition, there are many art studios and galleries in Wudaoying Hutong, where I like to explore all kinds of exquisite handicrafts. Everything from wood carving to ceramics shows the wisdom and skills of craftsmen. I don't have the patience to create by myself, but I like to appreciate other people's works and bring back some exquisite handicrafts as souvenirs.

Generally speaking, Wudaoying Hutong is my safe haven from the noise of the city. Here, I can slow down, feel the charm of traditional culture, taste delicious snacks and appreciate works of art. Whenever I come to Wudaoying Hutong, I can always find peace and satisfaction. It is one of my favorite places in Beijing and a unique scenic spot I recommend to my friends.

If there is a one-day tour of Hutong, Ah Fu will recommend a route for you!

This route passes through Wudaoying Hutong, Jianchang Hutong, imperial academy, Beiluoguxiang, Gulou East Street, Xie Jie, Dai Yan and Shichahai, and the rest time is about 4-5 hours.

Wudaoying Hutong is one of the hutongs with the strongest literary flavor in Beijing in my heart. There are all kinds of small shops along the street, such as handmade shops, ceramic shops, retro shops, coffee shops and jewelry shops of independent designers, which are dazzling and exude charming artistic atmosphere.

Starting from Wudaoying Hutong, I embarked on a journey to Jianchang Hutong, looking for the famous new Chinese dessert shop "Yuangu". On the way, I couldn't help being fascinated by this simple and beautiful scenery. Imperial academy and Confucius Temple Museum, summer viewing and land owner ice cream shop are all my exploration goals. The sweetness of red bean double skin milk lingers in my mouth, and the fragrance of Sanyuan Meiyuan intoxicated me.

Beiluoguxiang and Nanluoguxiang are separated by only one street, but they have a completely different atmosphere. Beiluoguxiang gives people a feeling of purity, tranquility and leisure. There are many art shops, cafes, Japanese izakaya and some bookstores. In summer, the sight of wild roses blooming makes me even more fascinated.

There are old shops, various special snacks, musical instruments, antique shops, cafes, pottery studios and record shops on both sides of Gulou East Street. Here, the flavor of old Beijing is preserved, and the elements of fashion and literature and art are blended. While the tobacco pouch is more commercialized, I recommend going to the Qing post office to experience the feeling of nostalgia.

Finally came to Shichahai, where the sunset glow of Yinding Bridge, the red walls and green tiles of Drum Tower, the remains of Gongwangfu, the Xifu Begonia of Soong Ching Ling's former residence and the tranquility of Guanghua Temple gathered. Here, I not only tasted the details of culture and history, but also enjoyed beautiful scenery and relaxing time. Shichahai is a gathering place of the charm of old Beijing, which deeply intoxicated me, as if I had crossed back to that ancient and unique era.
