Les Hutongs

Nan Luo Gu Xiang, one of the more commercialized hutongs in beijing. A great place for street photography, with all the little nook and crannies you can point and shoot at! I certainly think its a photographer's paradise! Nan luo gu xiang is frequented by some of the hippest peeps in beijing, and it is always a draw to come here and people watch in one of the many cafes they have here.

So if you have no idea what a hutong is, you might want to click here for a refresher!

The thing about the chinese, they do know how to dress up a place into a tourist trap, converting old hutongs into nice slumber for chilling out. When me and chiao were at nan luo gu xiang, we lunch in at Fish Nation, which served mediocre food but throw in a great ambience, they almost had me bought over.

Fish and chips of course

And of course not forgetting the many queer shops in the hutong. Everything for everybody!
