Description

5 minutes walk from the Forbidden City, City Walls House is located in the central of the middle AXIS; definitely it is in the HEART of Ancient Beijing.

City Walls is an exquisite traditional COURTYARD HOUSE, located within an ancient urban town area, which is perhaps the most authentic old town in Beijing. We say that it is authentic, because in front the gate, there is a zigzag alleyway, which is completely different from many of the beautiful HUTONGs that are currently being partially remodeled for modern living. It still keeps its Original temptation decades back to the great Old Peking.

No modern transport vehicle can pass through, one can only walk or use a bicycle.

City Walls is only 1 minute walk from the gorgeous & traditional alley of Beijing Major Street, it already gives you the most genuine understanding and feelings of HUTONG of the Old Town Beijing: The retired elders, basking and babble chatting under the sunshine; birds, congregating under the gate tower, chirping; Pekinese, tied on the wire pole; rabbits, kept inside the cages; and, also an old Hutong public toilet, which was built 30 years ago. Quiet alleyway, friendly eyes, warm exchange of greetings within neighbors, a simple and happy life atmosphere.
