Hutongs are a kind of narrow lanes or streets particular to Beijing, where they have existed for more than 800 years. The crisscrossing Hutongs in the city are more than simply alleyways for pedestrians or vehicles to travel along; they form the neighborhood where people live in. As an important aspect of the city's history and culture, they are witness to changes and transitions of time, offering a valuable clue of life in the old days, of what is typically Beijing.
