Hutong

On Friday, Maja unfortunately had to go back to Canada but before she left we spent the morning wandering Beijing!  Hutongs are traditional neighborhoods with narrow streets and low structures that make up what Beijing used to look like.  One of the most famous ones was just a 20 minute walk away from our hostel.  On our way there we actually ended up getting lost in another hutong. Both were beautiful, the famous one was very touristic while the other was where only locals live which made for a nice contrast. This really reaffirms my philosophy that the best way to discover a city is to get lost in it!

You know it's a touristic area when Starbucks is there

This was our last day in Beijing :( 

Next stop Shanghai!!
