" Nanluogu Lane is an alley located in the Jiaodaokou area on the east side of Beijing's central axis. It starts from Gulou East Street in the north and ends at Ping'an Street in the south. It is 8 meters wide and 787 meters long. It was built at the same time as Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the capital of Beijing. One of the oldest neighborhoods with a history of more than 740 years, it is also listed among the 25 planned old city protection areas. Because of its terrain, which is high in the middle and low in the north and south, it is named Luoguo Alley in the Qing Dynasty. The "Comprehensive Map of the Capital" drawn in the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign (1750) was renamed Nanluogu Lane ".

I have known about Beijing’s hutongs from books and TV since I was a child, and have always longed for them. But after living in Beijing, I never visited Beijing Hutongs seriously.

Sunday, July 26, 2020. It was raining lightly in the afternoon, and I really didn't want to stay in front of the computer. I picked up my backpack, took my camera with a 35MM lens, and went out alone with one camera and one lens. Go and visit the famous alley in old Beijing - Nanluogu Lane.

Due to the severe epidemic situation some time ago, Nanluogu Lane was closed for a period of time. It has just opened. You need to scan the QR code to make a reservation before entering.

After coming out of the subway station, you can see the entrance sign of Nanluoguxiang on the roadside. I was leaning on the side of the road. The 35MM lens was not wide enough to take a picture, so I took a picture with my mobile phone.

Post a guide map of Nanluogu Alley. Since it is still during the epidemic, only the main street is open and other places are not open. Many celebrities' former residences cannot be visited and can only be strolled along the main street.

Today's Nanluoguxiang is a combination of tradition and modernity. There are many traditional crafts, century-old shops, and trendy Internet celebrity shops. From south to north, I took a lot of photos along the street and compiled them to share with everyone.

This is making up for homework. I have sorted out the photos before, but they have not been posted in the article. I still have to make up a lot of homework next.
