Yandaixie Street

Childhood memories. These two days and revisiting the small and nothing old, there are childhood shadows, there are also modern petty bourgeoisie, feeling the changes in the perception of the scenery of the Chinese people. Hutong tour is really interesting. All the cafes here have their own characteristics and characteristics. It is highly recommended to go for a walk and drink.

Today, I took the bus to travel to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower: The ancient time used to report the time in the square to see Beijing aunt dancing the long-distance ribbon, and the two children also danced with their hands and feet to the smoke bag Xie Street. All the way, people from the crowd smoke bag Xie Street has no memory of Beijing. Now it has become a snack street, the commercial taste is too strong, only the small antique shop that was there. Walking along Houhai, in the alley, stopping and stopping, passing the North Normal University, Prince Gong's Mansion.

A very distinctive small street next to Houhai can feel the ancient hutong culture of Beijing. There are a variety of snacks, costumes, local products and souvenirs on the street. There are a lot of people, you can feel it.

In the northeast of Xicheng District, north of Di'anmen, there is a street in front of the Drum Tower, the oldest in Beijing, Yandai Xianjie. It rises from Di'anmen Outer Street in the east, and is connected to Xiaoshibei Hutong and Ya'er Hutong in the west, which is headed to the northeast and southwest. Also visited the Bell and Drum Tower, to Shichahai or Houhai, to Yinxi Bridge the most convenient alley. In the late 20s and 30s of the Qing Dynasty, the street was mainly engaged in the management of dry tobacco bags, water tobacco bags and other cigarette equipment, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, stationery and flavor snacks, service industry, etc. The paved architectural style is simple and has the characteristics of Beijing Beicheng. It is a more famous cultural street in Beijing Beicheng. There have been many cultural celebrities left in the footprints. It is said that the flag people living in Beicheng at the time were mostly fond of dry or water smoke, and the leaves were packed in cigarette bags. Due to the increasing demand for cigarette bags, one household opened a cigarette bag shop on the street. In addition, the street of the smoke bag is like a smoke bag. The slender street is like a smoke bag pole, the entrance to the east is like a smoke bag mouth, the entrance to the west is folded to the south, leading to the Yinju Bridge, it looks like a smoke bag pot. It is for these two reasons that the name of the Xiejie is really worthy of the name of the "smoking bag". From the geographical point of view, the formation and development of the Xiejie is closely related to the geographical location and socio-economic situation of the Drum Tower and Shichahai. Tour Beijing, want to see the style of old Beijing, it is best to see the Bell and Drum Tower, walk the smoke bag Xie Street, visit Shichahai, stand on the Yinxu Bridge to experience the "Yinxuan Mountain View".

Yandai Xie Street is south of the Drum Tower on the central axis of Beijing, east of Shicha Sea Scenic Area, and west of Nanluoguxiang Scenic Area. It can be said that it is the core area of Beijing's old city. In the end of Qing Dynasty, this not-long alley to the Republic of China is a place where cigarette shops and antique shops are piled up. This is mainly because there are smoking bags for people, and it is very close to the imperial city. The surrounding Wangfu is dense. Rich people like antiques. Later, people called this street because of the number of cigarette shops. "Smoke bag slant street." Now this street located on the central axis, guarding the imperial city, has become a culturally significant historical characteristic neighborhood, the street is standing archway, the street on both sides of the cultural and creative shops, old-fashioned restaurants, bars and cafes, eating, drinking and playing all kinds of elements, very suitable for sightseeing. Moreover, you can see the Drum Tower Tower from the east exit to the north, and the Bell Tower Tower from the west exit. The historical sense is full. It is definitely a very good choice to experience Beijing's traditional culture. And the west side of the smoke bag Xie Street is facing the Yaer Hutong. Although it is not as lively as the smoke bag Xie Street, there are also traditional and old brands such as Yaer Liji. In addition, walking in the relatively quiet alley to enjoy the antique bungalow buildings on both sides, that is the authentic Beijing Hutong feeling. If it is a tourist, it is recommended to visit the Bell and Drum Tower or Shichahai to come here to go shopping and eat. In addition, the Bell and Drum Tower is open to visit the city. Standing on the upper floor of the Drum Tower, you can overlook this characteristic block. It is a better experience.
