Who is lazily strolling around Wudaoying in the afternoon?
The temperature is rising, and the number of visitors is decreasing.
Early spring in Beijing is just too perfect for wandering around the hutongs👏🏼
Visiting artsy shops🧨, observing the local life👀, and going to different cafes🧸
Walking from east to west along the sunset-lit Wudaoying Hutong🚶♀️
You might just fall in love with this place unintentionally🤍
·
If you ask which hutong in Beijing has a strong artistic vibe,
Wudaoying surely has a place.
It has almost retained its appearance from ten years ago🎞️
There are many artsy shops and also many old Beijingers living here.
During my many visits here,
The small taverns, those coffee shops☕,
The fashionably dressed, street-strolling, photo-taking artistic youths,
Everything seems as if it's in an old photograph🎈
Yet it's vividly bustling and lively~
