The Nanluogu Lane area is a residential area in Beijing, with The Imperial City is only separated by one street and has a history of more than 700 years. Hutongs, courtyards, and green trees. Compared with the royal culture of red walls and gold tiles, the gray walls and gray tiles here present another unique folk color. Nanluoguxiang area is located in the west of Dongcheng District. It borders Jiaodaokou South Street to the east, Di'anmenwai Street to the west, Gulou East Street to the north, and Di'anmen East Street to the south. It covers an area of ??approximately one square kilometer. It is the central area of ??Yuandadu.
Nanluoguxiang has attracted the attention of fashionistas and foreign tourists in recent years because since the beginning of the new century, many bars have appeared inadvertently on this ancient street. Now it has become another bar street in Beijing after Sanlitun and Shichahai.
According to ancient Chinese thought of running a country, the capital should have nine main roads in the north-south and east-west directions. The north-south roads are called longitudes, and the east-west roads are called latitudes, referred to as nine longitudes and nine latitudes. Today's Jiaodaokou South Street and Di'anmenwai Street are the remains of Dadu's Nine Classics. Gulou East Street, Di'anmen East Street. It is the remnant of Dadu Jiuwei. The Nanluoguxiang area is located between these four longitudes and latitudes. To the south is the Imperial City, and to the north are the Dadu Road General Mansion, the Police Patrol Courtyard, Wanning Temple and the Central Pavilion. Dadu Road Governor's Mansion is equivalent to Shuntian Mansion in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wanning Temple is the royal temple, and the Central Pavilion is the center of Dadu and an important city symbol. To the west is the Wanning Bridge and the Shichahai with its smoky waves. To the southwest is Tonghui River. Wanning Bridge still exists today and is an important architectural relic of the Yuan Dynasty. Shichahai was formerly known as Haizi. At that time, it was the northern end of the Grand Canal and the most prosperous place at the water transport wharf in Dadu. The Tonghui River is still there, but it has been changed into an underground river. The road above the underground river is today's Dongbulaqiao Hutong. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Nanluoguxiang area was located in the central area of ??Dadu.
The Nanluoguxiang area was divided into two lanes in the Yuan Dynasty. The east was called Zhaohuifang and the west was called Jinggongfang. Between the two lanes is the north-south road, which today we call Nanluogu Lane. According to research by Beijing urban geography experts, the hutongs in this area are basically relics of the Dadu era. However, there was no name at that time, and today's title can only be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. In the east, that is, Zhaohuifang, the east-west alleys, from north to south, are: Ju'er Hutong, Hou Yuan'en Temple, Qian Yuan'en Temple, Qinlao Hutong, Beibingmasi Hutong, East Mianmian Hutong, Banchang Hutong, and Chaodou Hutong . In the west, Jinggongfang in the Yuan Dynasty, the alleys include: Qiangulouyuan, Heizhima Hutong, Shajing Hutong, Jingyang Hutong, Maoer Hutong, Yuer Hutong, Coiyi Hutong, and Fuxiang Hutong.
These alleys are wide and straight, basically maintaining the original appearance of the alleys of that era. The collection of these alleys was the layout of the square at that time. According to historical records, under the system of the square, no business activities can be carried out in the square.
After the Song Dynasty, the system of squares began to be deconstructed, but this was a long process. It cannot be said that this process had completely ended in the Yuan Dynasty. The most obvious evidence is that the hutongs in the Nanluoguxiang area did not have names at that time, indicating that Most urban units are still squares, not lanes, which are what Beijingers call hutongs. So far, there are basically no commercial facilities in the alleys in this area. There are only a few shops in Nanluogu Lane between the two lanes, which is the legacy of the lane system.
No. 35 Qinlao Hutong was the garden of the Suo family, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the late Qing Dynasty. It has rockeries, pavilions, pools and pavilions, as well as a boat-shaped pavilion that imitates Jiangnan architecture. This garden is called Qiyuan, and there are still carved stones handed down to this day. No. 11 Maoer Hutong was built by Wen Yu, a co-organizer of the late Qing Dynasty. Divided into three routes. The east road is the lower house, the middle road is the garden, and the west road is the main part of the house. There are five courtyards in total. The garden on the middle road is the famous Keyuan, the most beautiful private garden in Beijing. Different from Qiyuan, Keyuan is divided into two gardens, front and rear. There is a beautiful building on the north side of the front garden and a climbing verandah on the east. The back garden is filled with the fragrance of locust trees and is extremely quiet.
The Nanluoguxiang area has a profound history and is also a gathering place for humanity. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and to the Republic of China, people came out from generation to generation, and left traces of traces that can be traced.
At No. 65 Nanluogu Lane today, it is the ancestral hall of Hong Chengchou, a famous figure during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the Three Borders and Jiliao. Later, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became a great scholar who pacified the south and managed five provinces. He helped the Qing people pacify Jiangnan. According to "Yanjing Visit to Ancient Records": Hong Chengchou's mansion was located on the east entrance of Fangzhuang Factory outside the back gate and east of the road. It is now abandoned. Only two iron lions stand majestically outside the mansion gate. The back gate of the mansion is in Nanluogu Lane, where the descendants of the Hong family still live. The back door of this house is now No. 65. The north room in the courtyard is still in good condition and is said to be the original.
The courtyards at No. 77 Chaodou Hutong and No. 32 and 34 Banchang Hutong were originally the palace of Seng Gelinqin in the late Qing Dynasty. Seng Gelinqin, a member of the Mongolian Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner, stationed himself at Dagukou with the great scholar Ruilin in the eighth year of Xianfeng (1858), reorganized the coastal defense, and defeated the British and French allied forces the following year. Ten years later (1860), he once again fought against the British and French forces, lost Dagu, and was deposed as a king. In the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), he died at the hands of the Nian Army while pursuing the Nian Army in Shandong. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, a temple was built for him on the south side of Chaodou Hutong at No. 47 North of Anmen East Street Road today, called Seng Gelin Qin Temple. Now the ancestral hall and the palace are both there, and the back door of the ancestral hall and the gate of the palace are in an alley. This is the only isolated example in Beijing.
No. 6 Shoubi Hutong, No. 3 and No. 5 Juer Hutong are the residences of Ronglu's father. Ronglu was an important figure in the late Qing Dynasty and served as Minister of Military Affairs. During the Reform Movement of 1898, Yuan Shikai reported to him, which led to the failure of the Reform Movement. Ronglu was born here. This house is very large, divided into three streets, with residences in the east, gardens in the middle, and Western-style buildings in the west.
Nos. 35 and 37 Maoer Hutong were the residences of Wanrong, the last queen of the Qing Dynasty, before her marriage. It was originally an ordinary residence. Wanrong was canonized as a queen, and her father was awarded the title of minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the title of third-class Cheng'en Duke. The house was upgraded to Cheng'en Palace and renovated. The original one-door door was changed to a three-open and one-open style, with lattice partitions on both sides, and the middle door is equipped with a gold-plated door knocker. This mansion is commonly known as the Queen's Mansion among the people. In 1984, it was designated as a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing.
No. 11 Maoer Hutong was sold to President Feng Guozhang during the Beiyang period. Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, Cao Kun, and Feng Guozhang were the third presidents of the Beiyang government. Feng Guozhang, a native of Hejian, Hebei Province, graduated from the Beiyang Military Academy. He first served as an instructor in the Huai Army Foreign Gun Team, and then followed Yuan Shikai to train at the Tianjin Station. In 1915, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, but Feng Guozhang was opposed to it. After Yuan's death, Feng was elected vice president and became the direct leader of the Beiyang warlords. Two years later, he served as acting president and resigned the following year.
The location of the Central Academy of Drama at No. 39 East Mianmian Hutong was originally Jin Yunpeng’s residence. Jin Yunpeng, a native of Shandong, like Feng Guozhang, is also a graduate of the Beiyang Military Academy. In 1912, he was appointed commander of the Fifth Beiyang Division and was promoted to governor of Shandong the following year. In 1919, he was appointed Army Chief and Acting Prime Minister. After the defeat of the Anhui clique, he was re-elected as prime minister with the support of the Feng clique. In 1921, he resigned and worked as an apartment house in Tianjin.
No. 7 Houyuanen Temple was originally the residence of the second son of Prince Qing Yikuang in the late Qing Dynasty. It was sold to the French during the Republic of China. It is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with a Western-style building in the middle, a circular pool in front, and dotted with Old Summer Palace carved stones around it; a Western-style round pavilion in the east; and a Chinese-style courtyard in the west. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Beijing and served as a traveling guard. After 1949, it served as the site of the former Yugoslav Embassy and the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and is now the Friendship Hotel. In 1984, it was designated as a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing.
No. 13 Houyuanen Temple, the former residence of Mao Dun. Mao Dun moved here from Dongsi Toutiao in 1974 and lived here for seven years. He died of illness in 1981. This is a small courtyard with two entrances. After Mao Dun died, it was turned into Mao Dun's former residence.
No. 13, Yuer Hutong, is a courtyard house in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qi Baishi lived here for a short time. Later, he returned to Kuache Hutong because he was uneasy about pillow seats.
No. 20 Dongbulaqiao Hutong, the former residence of Zhan Tianyou. Zhan Tianyou is a familiar figure to everyone. He is famous for being one of the first batch of overseas students in my country. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway he designed is the most praised by the world. His statue on the Badaling Railway Station is exquisite and solemn. It is a pity that he is not in the East. The former residence in Yaqiao Hutong is in disarray.
The above information about Hutongs is for reference only.
The Great Wall is quite far away, and it will be tiring to go and back on the same day. It is recommended to play in the city on the first day, then check out the room before 12 o'clock the next day, and take Metro Line 2. Go to Dongzhimen or Deshengmen and take a bus to visit the Great Wall (the Great Wall is divided into many sections in suburban counties that are not accessible from Beijing, so the bus routes are different)
Each Great Wall has its own characteristics, and the Badaling Great Wall It is famous for its majesty (at least that’s what the tour guides said). You need to start from Deshengmen, which is where the guy downstairs said to take bus 919 to Deshengmen.
The Mutianyu Great Wall is famous for its beauty. You need to take bus 916 to Dongzhimen.
The Simatai Great Wall is famous for being difficult to climb, so you need to take bus 918 at Dongzhimen.
. . .
Wait (there is another section of the Great Wall in Hebei, which I really don’t recommend. It’s called the Jinshanling Great Wall. It is said to be the essence of the Great Wall. I have not been there, so I will not comment.)
Before climbing the Great Wall, find a place to live in the suburbs. The scenic spots in the suburbs are relatively dense. Since it is rare to come here once, don’t go back just to see the Great Wall, so it is recommended to stay in the suburbs for a day.
All districts and counties attach great importance to tourism consultation, and it is easy to learn about other local attractions.
Then we stayed one night and returned to the city on the third day. We stopped by Wangfujing in Xidan for some shopping. (Actually, we never go shopping in Xidan, and we really don’t think that place is that good.) , Xidan Wangfujing is along Metro Line 1, not far from Tiananmen Square. The reason why I didn't let you go first is because it makes more sense to buy things before leaving. The pedestrian street is very beautiful and there are a lot of people there, so be prepared to feel tight in your chest (ha, that’s a bit exaggerated, I really don’t like that place anyway)
