Beijing's Hutongs
Despite the advent of time, Beijing is still riddled with these long, winding alleyways where families have lived for centuries in their own communities. Spend an afternoon wandering around - it may feel intrusive at first, but you will be welcomed with curiosity and interest by neighbors who are cooking, gossiping, or playing mah jong and cards. Guided hutong tours are available but it's the process of discovery that is rewarding and satisfying.
