When you think of Beijing.the beautiful green waters and hills of Beihai Park and the grand and beautiful Forbidden City will come to your mind.
In recent years,groups of modern buildings and specially designed plazas have appeared on Beijing's streets.Standing in the street.you can feel how Beijing has changed.But foreigners still like to go to the hutongs.
The word hutong comes from the Mongolian language.Hutongs come to Beijing more than 700 years ago.As time passed,the hutongs have remained,and have become an important part of the essence of Beijing.
Many foreigners,when they come to Beijing from their far countries,will go directly to visit the hutongs after setting down.They sit in the courtyards,chatting with the native Beijingers about neighhours and their lives.It seems that through their chatting,they can find the true meaning of Chinese family lives.
Waving goodbye,they have to leave the hutongs,and say goodbye to the families with whom they have chatted happily.But they don't feel like leaving.The hutongs have brought great enjoyment to them.
Although every country has its own special cultural background,economic situation and level of development.the people's stories and feelings are similar.The hutong is a cultural symbol of this city.And the families of the hutongs are also unforgettable. |
