Hutong

After we visited the Great Wall, we checked-out and stayed in a hotel located
in one of the Hutongs (streets and alleyways in old Beijing).

The boys - at the end of the courtyard got wet every day from playing in that pond.

A little "tienda" -
Yes, I still speak more Spanish than Chinese.

More little streets that are difficult to navigate.

The current trend - reconstructing the Hutong.

It was fun to stay in the hotel even though it was kind-of a pain to get a taxi to go down the narrow streets.
One of the highlights was eating at a Xinjiang resaurant - even the boys enjoyed it.
