The Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square in Dongcheng District have long been famous all around the world and Nanluoguxiang has become a “mecca” for trendsetters in Beijing. However, there is small hutong located in the west of Yonghegong Street with an exotic feel, which is not so well. If you are tired of the hot spots and hustle and bustle of the city, Wudaoying Hutong is your top choice to visit.

Walking in the Wudaoying Hutong, you may meet many foreigners. Some of them are tourists, and some are owners of the shops in Wudaoying. Many foreigners are interested in the culture of Beijing hutongs, with them garnering the attention of people of all walks of life. Owners in Naluoguxiang and Drum Tower were quickly followed the trends and open branch shops here.

It is a artistic and elegant hutong with an array of cafes, bars and dessert shops dotted on both sides, among which are some small specific shops with exquisite decorations. The Chinese architectures with plastered walls and grey tiles on the two sides of the hutong show the local colour of art and literature. Without strong commercial emphasis, locals enjoy leisure time and tranquility happily in the hutong. It is an ideal hangout for you to enjoy the leisure time with your friends on weekends.
