The Old Beijing

Being the Capital of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Beijing embraced many beautiful historical wonders, including the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, etc. We also visited the “Nanluoguxiang 南鑼鼓巷” (South Luogu Lane) http://www.ebeijing.gov.cn/feature_2/DongchengTravel/NanluoguxiangPH/t1108559.htm , a very old street district in Beijing where many interesting shops ensemble inside the HuTong.
