The most authentic hutong in Beijing–Jiuwan hutong

Hutong is a very special sight in Beijing. When you search for good Hutong to visit, there must be some list for you, but all of them become touristy or renovated. It is very hard to find the authentic life of the Beijingers. I would like to recommend you to the Jiuwan Hutong to visit.

Juwan hutong is located in the south part of the old city, this area was for the poor people live so the street is quite narrow, the narrowest place is about 1 meter, and there is another hutong not far away called Xiaolaba hutong only 90 centimeters wide. This area is only about 1 km away from Tiananmen Square which is a golden area of Beijing.

Which hutong to visit for your unique experience in Beijing?

Jiuwan in Chinese means Nine curve road, it is because it has nine right angles tortuous road.

People who lived peacefully here with a traditional Beijing feel and super friendly. This is a perfect place for real Beijing life.

If you want to experience the real and old hutong in Beijing, Jiuwan hutong and its surroundings are the best choices.
