Many friends who travel to Beijing don’t know that there is a tall white pagoda standing in a hutong in Xicheng. This is the largest existing Lama pagoda built in the Yuan Dynasty, and the nearby hutong is definitely the boundary of old Beijing. , compared with the bustling Nanluogu Lane in Dongcheng, there is rare comfort and tranquility here.

Some people say that when traveling in Beijing, "painting alleys is the most important thing." But when Nanluogu Alley is crowded with tourists and Wudaoying is full of literary and artistic Internet celebrity shops, where else can Can you feel the fireworks of old Beijing in an alley?

The answer lies at the foot of the Miaoying White Tower. There are two white towers in Beijing, the most famous of which is of course the one in Beihai. However, the White Pagoda of Baita Temple is the oldest one.

The Lama Pagoda, which has protected the common people for more than 700 years, is separated by a wall from the Sheep Soup Restaurant in the market. It is the perfect dwelling place for gods and people. Time seems to slow down in the crooked Gongmen Hutong.

There are no tourists near Baita Temple. Old people are basking in the sun on the roadside. Melons and fruits are planted in front and back of their houses. Residents live an ordinary life. Baita Temple is a quiet place amidst the bustle. The long and narrow alley is full of human fireworks~

Blue sky, white tower, red walls, old people walking with hands behind their backs, and children jumping in front singing nursery rhymes~ There is no hustle and bustle outside. The whistle sounded, and the sound of wind chimes in front of the teahouse deep in the alley was particularly clear.

Many people like to watch the TV series "The Story of Happiness". The acting skills of all the actors in it (all veteran actors) and the beautiful scenery of the alley next to the Baita Temple in old Beijing make the whole drama It has a strong sense of immersion, and it instantly transports you to the scenes in the alleys of that era...

What I like most is the infrared wall on the east side of Baita Temple (the east side road of Baita Temple), with green plants as the foreground. The sky, the white tower, the red wall and the children running towards you at the end of the alley are just a few reasons to fall in love with Beijing.

My favorite way to open an alley is to ride a bicycle through the intricate alleys with a camera on my back. Passing by an old man playing chess and chatting on the street, a tinkling hardware store, or encountering a wild dog, or a group of chirping and playing children, occasionally stopping to click the shutter, or buying a bottle of cold beer in the grocery store to quench your thirst. Let's go to a roadside restaurant and have a sesame cake with mutton soup, and feel refreshed~

Pretend to live in a Beijing alley, and blend the charm of this city into your blood
