Beijing Hutongs:
Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street
Know as Yandai Xiejie in Chinese, the Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street is one of the oldest hutongs in Beijing. Located in the Xicheng District, it is close to the Shichahai which are famous attractions in Beijing. It is 232 meters (253 yards) long with its east end on the Di'anmen Street and the west to the Silver Ingot Bridge. Stepping into the street for about 50 meters, one would come to the south end of the Dashibei Hutong, which goes to the Drum Tower West Avenue (Gulou Xidajie). Passing over the Silver Ingot Bridge one can reach the Houhai Bar Street.
According to a book that was published during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street was initially named Drum Tower Xiejie and was changed into the present at the end of Qing Dynasty. It is recorded that there were many smoking pipe stores on the street in the Qing Dynasty, among which there was one named Shuangshengtai. The store owner put a 1.5-meter-high (5-feet-high) wooden smoking pipe in front of the store as a sign. As time went by, the street was known by the whole city for its giant smoking pipe, hence its name. Some people also say that the street looks like a smoking pipe.
After the 1911 Revolution, the Qing Royal Family was overthrown, the banners (Manchurians that were fed by the Qing government) lost their incomes and many of them had to sell their properties, such as antiques, to make a living. Gradually many antique markets were formed in Beijing, among which Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street was a large one. But after 1949, the antique trading on this street gradually declined.
The Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street lost its commercial position in the 1950s and many buildings were changed to residential buildings, including the Taoism Temple--Guangfu Guan. In 2007, the street was redeveloped to recover its historical features. Guangfu Guan has become a tourist site and many reproductions of classic architecture were built on the street. In the buildings are stores of Indian clothes, Miao costumes and accessories, Tibet costumes, Lijiang crafts, Shaanxi pottery, badges and quotations of Chairman Mao, etc. If you want to experience Chinese commercial culture, the best way would be to buy some souvenirs and bargain with the shopkeepers.
Besides these featured stores, there are also many restaurants along the Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street. Here you can go to traditional Chinese restaurants--roasted lamb of Master Ji, stewed pork liver (a traditional Beijing snack) of Master Yao, the Meiyuan Dairy, baked wheaten cake with donkey meat of Mr. Wang and wonton of Master Hou.
There are more than 20 cafés and bars with different styles on the Skewed Tobacco Pouch Street, among which there is the Night of Yinding, the largest café in the Shichahai area. And others like the Red Mansion, the Sea Bar, the Show Place Café, the Wenshi Café, etc. One can have a cup of coffee when tired and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Houhai Lake. Tasting the delicacies of traditional Beijing style and those of other places, shopping in the widely varying stores, one would best experience the uniqueness of the city.

Beijing Dashilan or Dashilar Street / 大栅栏 / 大柵欄
Beijing Dashilan or Dashilar Street / 大栅栏 / 大柵欄 is a famous business street outside Qianmen in Beijing, China. Now the term Dashilanr is also used to refer to the area comprising, besides Dashilanr itself, also the Langfang Toutiao Lane, Liangshidian Street and Meishi Street.
In 1488, in order to secure the public safety of the capital, the central government built wooden fences at all the entrances to the streets and lanes in Beijing. The fence was accomplished with contributions from the local residents, and the total number of the fences was more than 1,700 by the end of the Qing dynasty. Among them, the Langfang Sitiao street’s fence was funded by the merchants. For this reason, the fence was extremely large and thus got the name Dashilanr. With the passage of time, Dashilanr gradually became the formal name of the street replacing Langfang Sitiao.
For centuries, the traditional commercial street Dashilanr has held quite a few Lao zihaos which are well-known both at China and abroad. The Lao zihaos, such as Tongrentang (Chinese: 同仁堂; pinyin: Tóngréntáng) Chinese herbal medicine store, Rui Fu Xiang (Chinese: 瑞蚨祥; pinyin: ruìfúxiáng) silk store, Ma Ju Yuan (Chinese: 马聚元; pinyin: Mǎjùyuán) hat store, Nei Lian Sheng (Chinese: 内联升; pinyin: Neìliánshéng) shoe store, Zhang Yi Yuan (Chinese: 张一元; pinyin: Zhāngyīyuán) tea shop, and Liu Bi Ju (Chinese: 六必居; pinyin: Liùbìjū) pickle shop, as well as Yi Pin Zhai (Chinese: 一品斋; pinyin: Yīpǐnzhāi), Bu Ying Zhai (Chinese: 步瀛斋; pinyin: Bùyíngzhāi), Ju Shun He (Chinese: 聚顺和; pinyin: Jùshùnhé), Chang Sheng Kui (Chinese: 长盛魁; pinyin: Chángshèngkuí), are over 100 years old.
There once was a saying in Beijing, Wear the hats of Ma Ju Yuan, stand in the shoes of Nei Lian Sheng, wear the clothes of Ba Da Xiang, and take the money of Si Da Heng Banks. Ma Ju Yuan, Nei Lian Sheng, Ba Da Xiang (Chinese: 八大祥; pinyin: Bādàxiáng) and Si Da Heng (Chinese: 四大恒; pinyin: Sìdàhéng) are all stores located in Dashilanr that are taken as the symbols of wealth.
Dashilanr was also the former entertainment center of Beijing apart from the commercial center. There were five grand Chinese opera theaters in Dashilanr – Qingle Yuan (Chinese: 庆乐园; pinyin: Qìnglèyuán), Sanqing Yuan (Chinese: 三庆园; pinyin: Sānqìngyuán), Guangde Lou (Chinese: 广德楼; pinyin: Guǎngdélóu), Guanghe Yuan (Chinese: 广和园; pinyin: Guǎnghéyuán), Tongle Yuan (Chinese: 同乐园; pinyin: Tónglèyuán); the first movie theater in Beijing, Daguan Lou (Chinese: 大观楼; pinyin: Dàguānlóu), also situated there.

【4K】2019 walking in eight alley beijing asmr
Bada Hutong used to be synonymous with Huajie Liuxiang. Bada Hutong is north of Xizhu Shikou Street, south of Tieshu Xie Street, and from west to east: Baishun Alley, Rouge Alley, Hanjia Alley, Shaanxi Alley, Stone Alley, Wang Guangfu Xiejie (now Brown Tree Xiejie ), Zhujia Hutong, Lishamao Hutong (now Xiaoli Hutong).
There are so many hutongs in Beijing, and the eighth hutongs are famous both at home and abroad. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, many officials often came here.
In fact, the eight big alleys referred to by old Beijingers do not specifically refer to these eight streets, but generally refer to the area around Dashilan outside Qianmen, because there are nearly a hundred houses in the alleys outside these eight streets and alleys. Small and large brothels. It was just that the brothels in these eight alleys were mostly first-class and second-class, and the grades of prostitutes were relatively high, so they were so well-known.
An important reason for the formation of the prototype of the Bad Moon Field in the Eighth Hutong is that during the Qianlong period, the Huiban Jinjin stayed at the Hanjiatan and Baishun alleys in the Eighth Hutong. After that, four Xi and Chuntai drama classes came to Beijing and stayed in the eighth Hutong. Baishun Hutong, Shaanxi Alley and Li Tieguai Xiejie. So there is a saying in old Beijing: People don't leave the road, tigers don't leave the mountain, and they can't leave Baishun or Hanjiatan for singing.
It can be seen that the eight major alleys are inextricably linked to the formation and development of drama, especially Beijing opera. As prostitutes were banned in the Qing Dynasty, the scholar-official class had been superior since the Ming Dynasty to support their families. Therefore, the Hui class disciples who came to Beijing are boys. The most beautiful ones are usually male dans, where their residence and teaching are located. , Mei Qiaoling runs Jinghetang, Cheng Changgeng's apartment is located in Four Provincial Halls, and Tan Xinpei Hall, Yingxiu Hall, are all in eight alleys. In the Jiaqing period, Xianggong emphasized that color and art were not important. Later, after Tongguang, the masters represented by Sandingjia succeeded in art, and gradually Tongling Xianggong also regarded color and art as excellent. It can be said that the prosperity of the Eight Great Hutongs in the Qing Dynasty was entirely due to the male princes. Beginning of the Republic of China, prostitutes were lifted, and the sacrifice withered, and the original hall of Bada Hutong became the world of brothels.
