Hutong Tour

One of Beijing's most beautiful Hutongs is Yidali Hutong. Yidali Hutong, once the residence of the Prince Xun in the early Qing Dynasty and later the betrothal residence of Yonghuang, Prince Qindan of Empress Dowager Chongqing, is a unique lane community. With Republic of China-style gateways and alleys, Yidali Hutong is a closed community beloved by tenants. Alley communities in Beijing often sprung up in vacant spaces of palaces and government offices; considering the high number of royal and noble families in the West City, many Hutongs were established. Noteworthy lanes within Yidali Hutong include Lequn Lane, Qinjian Lane, Fude Lane, and Cixiang Lane.
10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
