Beijings hutongs are particularly famo
3、us, however, as there are thousands of them. Nowadays, the word “hutong” has come to mean more than just the alleys that connect the courtyards. It also refers to the courtyards themselves and even to the communities that live there.BThe majority of Beijings hutongs were built between the 13th and 1
4、9th centuries during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. To help them keep control over the city, the Emperors during these periods arranged different areas of Beijing in neat blocks of houses built around courtyards.They were then able to place guards at the entrances of the various hutongs, which m

8、最深的印象，因为透过难得一见的胡同，游客能看到中国的过去。胡同很多条连接四合院的小巷子是中国古代建筑的一大特色，今天仍然能在中国少数几个城市的老城角落里见到。然而，北京的胡同格外著名，因为它有数千条。现在，“胡同”这个词不仅仅指连接四合院的小巷子，它还指四合院本身，甚至包括住在四合院里的人们。B北京的胡同大部分建于13至19世纪的元、明、清三个朝代。为了维持对整个城市的统治，那些朝代的皇帝们把北京城的不同地区划分成整整齐齐的四合院院落。他们派士兵把守着胡同的入口，这样做使他们容易监视人们的举动。皇家官邸，即紫禁城，在北京城的正中央，贵族与富豪的府邸位于距离皇宫最近的胡同，普通老百姓住在离皇宫较

Many new hutongs were quickly built to house the increasing population but these were po

Conditions improved a great deal and the government undertook the preservation of many of the oldest hutongs.EHutongs are still an important part of Beijing life and it is not surprising that tourists love the hutongs.
13、They can walk up Sanmiao Street, which dates back 900 years, wander down Rongxian the longest hutong at 2 km or squeeze through Qianshi the narrowest at only 40 cm wide! They can also stop under a stone arch and watch the hutong world go by while enjoying a plate of Beijings best “Peking Duck” or sa
