Residential area around the Forbidden City!









In these Hutong's you can clearly see that you are moving up in status from the areas around Wangfujing.

The architecture of these buildings just amazed me. Everywhere I went in China I felt like I was in one of those story books my grandma used to read to me as a child. I was waiting for the enchanted prince to come around the corner on his white horse.

Well the closest I got to it was a Chinese guy on a yellow monster Kawasaki... That didn't impress me much. It didn't fit the scene of a thousand year ago at all...
