my little modest local hutong was torn down (make room for highrises). I really love Beijing hutongs, fortunately many are now protected by the government, but not the one in my neighborhood.just went there the other night, and what had been a nice play of neon lights and social activity was now dark, with people sledgehammering the small stores I had become accustomed to visiting

  1. UPDATE: The hutong wasn't torn down. It was WINTERIZED. Back up and running ;-)
