Hutongs are historical districts typical to Beijing, consisting of courtyard residences linked together by a maze of intricate alleyways. Dating back to China’s dynastic period, they hold an important place in Chinese cultural history. Although many have been lost to make way for more modern amenities in the capital city, those that remain are now listed as protected areas and some have been carefully converted into luxurious hotels, retaining the oriental charm and details that are now a testament to China’s vivid past.
