A famous hutong lane that has turned into a crowded snack-and-souvenir street.
Should I go? Locals say skip
Locals call it a tourist trap now: shoulder-to-shoulder at weekends and the same chain snacks you’ll find anywhere. The side lanes branching off it are still pretty.
Better: Walk the Shichahai hutongs instead — ten minutes west and far more charming. Shichahai & Houhai hutongs →
