Nanluoguxiang 南锣鼓巷
Nanluogu Xiang (South Gong and Drum Lane, Nanluogu Alley) is among one of
the oldest hutongs around and has a history of over 800 years. This 800-meter
long North-South alleyway is filled with bars, cafes, restaurants, artsy little shops,
souvenir shops and cute boutiques. It's worth to spend an hour or two walking
through the little alley ways and hutongs around it.
