Now Wudaoying Hutong has become a new gathering place for literary and artistic petty bourgeoisie in addition to Nanluoguxiang and Shicha Overseas in Beijing. All kinds of retro original boutiques, book bars, cafes and specialty restaurants are scattered all over the hutong. Wudaoying Hutong was called "Wu Deweiying" in the Ming Dynasty and has a long history. Today, it has transformed into an existence similar to Nanluoguxiang, and it is the new favorite of young and fresh people in literature and art. Compared with Nanluoguxiang, Yandai Xiejie and Shichahai, Wudaoying Hutong is more quiet and lazy. There are many interesting and romantic restaurants, cafes, and small shops in the hutongs, most of which are run by foreigners and returnees, and many of the shopkeepers are also directors and artists. The hardcore literary fan should spend some money to go to Jingzhaoyin to worship, and the appearance of the Sanjin Antique Siheyuan Vegetarian Restaurant is a scenery in itself. Saffron Western Restaurant is also a popular Spanish restaurant in Beijing’s petty bourgeoisie circle. In summer, you can dine in the courtyard and drink a glass of fruit wine in the cool breeze. Behind the store is a large courtyard and residential buildings. In the morning, you can see the aunt who brushes slippers and goes out to buy bean curd with a big enamel bowl. In the evening, you can meet young literary and artistic young people dressed in fashion. In the hutong, foreigners ride bicycles leisurely through it, children play in the sand piles, and they can hear the hawkers shouting and selling.
