Hutongs Travel Reviews

Jun 05, 2007
Wikipeida: The word hutong comes from the Mongolian hottog meaning water well. During the growth of towns and cities, wells dug by villagers formed the centres of new communities.
Nowadays hutongs are vibrant neighbourhoods packed with shops and restaurants and were locals enjoy their food. For a taste of real china go to the hutongs before the government demolishes them all and eat some local food if you dare (but not a Chinese burger). Best one is located just south-west from Tiananmen square.

Jingshan Park
nadja1279 says: When you visit Beijing, it is a MUST to visit the Jingshan Park, located at the opposite of the north entrance of the Forbidden City. The park is one of my favourites in the city, because you have an absolutely terrific view from the top! The entrance fee is 2 Yuan - so it is really cheap.
