A 726-metre lane that keeps about 80 courtyards, around 30 of them large and well preserved, with the grey walls and red doors of classic Beijing. It is still a quiet residential street, home to the Shijia Hutong primary school and dormitories of the Beijing People's Art Theatre, and sits off every tour route between Wangfujing and Chaoyangmen.
