In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences. Many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one

siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another. The word hutong is also used to refer to such neighbourhoods.

Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing hutongs has dropped dramatically as they are demolished to make way for new roads and

buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural

history. 

Then visit the Lama Temple, a series of beautiful pavilions comprise this Mongolian-Tibetan yellow-sect temple, which features an impressive

fifty-four-foot (25m) high Buddha carved from one piece of Tibetan sandalwood.  iIt is a functionings temple and monastery of the Geluk School

of Tibetan Buddhism.  Building work on the Yonghegong Temple started in 1694. The temple is said to have survived the Cultural Revolution due

to the intervention of Prime Minister Zhou Enlai. It was reopened to the public in 1981.It is an excellent place to see Buddhism practiced.
