Many Beijingers live in courtyard houses or hutongs. They are bordered by alleyways created by their courtyard walls. Many of these traditional homes have been destroyed over the years, but we were lucky that several hutong districts were within walking distance to our hotel. So after my traditional breakfast of congee, we went exploring the hutong district.
