Beijing City Walls is an exquisite traditional COURTYARD HOUSE, located within an ancient urban town area, which is perhaps the most authentic old town in Beijing. We say that it is authentic, because in front the gate, there is a zigzag alleyway, which is completely different from many areas.
Beijing City Walls is very different from many of the beautiful HUTONGs that are currently being partially remodelled for modern living. The zigzag alleyway in front of the gate still keeps its Original temptation decades back to the great old Peking. No modern transport vehicle can pass through, one can only walk or use a bicycle.
Only 1 minute walk from the gorgeous & traditional alley of Beijing Major Street, it already gives you the most genuine understanding and feelings of HUTONG of the Old Town Beijing. The retired elders, basking and babble chatting under the sunshine; birds, congregating under the gate tower, chirping; Pekinese, tied on the wire pole; rabbits, kept inside the cages; and, also an old Hutong public toilet, which was built 30 years ago.
Quiet alleyway, friendly eyes, warm exchange of greetings within neighbours, a simple and happy life atmosphere, all these are reminding you:
Life Style in Old Town Beijing
Beijing City Walls, the Traditional Courtyard House; Reparation and Renovations have been carried out in full accordance with the traditional taste and modern standard. Inside the courtyard, red lantern, Chinese knots, a 100 m2 comprehensive functional public hall, free wireless Internet access, clean guestrooms, with cooling and heating air-conditions, and also big washrooms that conform to the European and American standards.

After spending 5 to 10 minutes in the gorgeous & traditional HUTONG(alley) walking, you promptly approach the Forbidden City, the BeiHai Park ( North Sea Park ), and the HouHai tourist site; in 3 to 18 minutes Bicycling, you can also reach the Tiananmen Square, WangFuJing Shopping Centre, The Temple of Heaven (Tian Tan), The Drum-Tower, Lama Temple, and LiuLiChang (the Antique calligraphy and painting street) . Taking a taxi from the XiDan Aviation building and the Beijing Railway Station where the regular airport bus is located, it takes you only about 1.5 to 2 Euros.
