Discovering the True Essence of Beijing: Staying in a Hutong

I've visited Beijing countless times, staying in various hotels, but it wasn't until this trip that I realized—hutongs are the gentlest gateway to this city. 🌙 The Quiet Nights The moment I stepped into Huguosi Hutong, the city's hustle and bustle seemed to fade away. No traffic jams, just the soft glow of streetlights under old locust trees and the occasional sound of a bicycle bell. At night, opening the window brings a familiar yet unique scent of Beijing in the air. 🥢 The Morning Vibes Waking up and heading downstairs, you're greeted by Huguosi Snack Street. Freshly made treats like Ai Wo Wo, Lv Da Gun, and Chao Gan fill the air with steam and aroma 🥢. No need to chase tourist spots—just a casual breakfast immerses you in the authentic life of old Beijing. 🛏 Cozy Rooms ● Thoughtful hotel amenities: oversized projector for binge-watching without needing a subscription 🎬 ● Separate wet and dry bathroom areas + makeup mirror with lighting 💡 ● Smart toilet and lighting controls, making the stay even more comfortable than home ● All this for just around 300 RMB per person, right in the heart of the second ring road 🔥 🚇 Convenient Transportation A 3-minute walk to the subway connects you to the Forbidden City, Shichahai, and Nanluoguxiang in no time. Spend the day exploring attractions and return to the peaceful haven of the hutong at night—effortless and relaxing. ✨ A Genuine Beijing Experience I used to think Beijing was all about the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and Sanlitun. But this time, I fell in love with a different rhythm: sightseeing during the day and living at night. The slow pace of hutong life is the most unforgettable surprise of the trip. If you've been to Beijing many times, why not try a different approach? Stay in Huguosi Hutong to experience the real Beijing while enjoying a safe and comfortable stay.
