NanLuoGuXiang 南锣鼓巷 Beijing Hutong

Still have couple days left in Beijing ? Do not know what do to ?

You can visit one of Beijing’s favorite must-see Hutong. It is called Nán luógǔ xiàng 南锣鼓巷.

If I translated luógǔ xiàng 锣鼓巷 in English it means Percussion Alley. It does not mean you will see music shops there. (I saw one. It sells ocarina and some guitar shops in the end of the alley).

Basically, in this hutong you will see several art shops, galleries, bars-cafes and street snacks.

You have to try on Pizza Gong Bao Ji Ding at Pass by Bar Cafe. Its design blends between old and post modern era of Chinese revolution.

You will see Chinese’s chicky to the kitschy design like old book, post card with old Chinese photograph, drinking cup, wallet, etc. Other then that, you also can find tea shops, leather wallets and bags, shisha, cool T-shirt, and accessories & ornaments from one of Chinese’s tribe like bracelets, necklaces, hair pins, etc.
