Hutongs

Hutong are a sort of tight road or back road ordinarily connected with northern Chinese urban areas, particularly Beijing.

In Beijing, hutongs are back streets framed by lines of siheyuan, conventional yard residences.Many neighborhoods were shaped by going along with one siheyuan to another to frame a hutong, and after that going along with one hutong to another. The word hutong is additionally used to allude to such neighborhoods.

Since the mid-twentieth century, countless hutongs were crushed to clear a path for new streets and structures. All the more as of late, be that as it may, numerous hutongs have been assigned as secured, trying to protect this part of Chinese social history. Hutongs were first settled in the Yuan line 1206– 1341 and afterward extended in the Ming 1368– 1628 and Qing 1644– 1908 traditions.
