[4K 360°VR] China-Beijing Hutong Night Walking Tour | Qianmen and Dashilan Area

In this video, I will take you to experience night views of the Hutongs in Qianmen area in Beijing, China. Wearing VR glasses to watch this video will give you a better experience.

Qianmen Street is adjacent to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. This time my walking tour started in Dajiang Hutong, passed through the main street of Qianmen Street, and then arrived at Dashilan Hutong. There are many places to shop in Qianmen. What I like most is the snacks there. These are snacks from old Beijing. The whole street not only looks beautiful but also smells good because of the food.

The culture of Beijing's ancient capital is "Hutong culture." Beijing's Hutongs first originated in the Yuan Dynasty（AD1260）, and there were more than 6,000 at most. There are generally courtyards on both sides of the Hutongs.
Hutongs all look similar from the outside, but their internal characteristics are different. They are not only the culture heritages of the city, but also the place where ordinary people in Beijing live. Beijingers have a special affection for hutongs.

Beijing Qianmen Dashilan Historical and Cultural District is located on the west side of Qianmen Street in Xicheng District, Beijing, bounded by South Xinhua Street in the west, Zhushikou West Street in the south, and Qianmen West Street in the north, covering an area of ​​approximately 1.15 square kilometers. Dashilan was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (AD1420), and was called Langfang Si Tiao at the time. In the first year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (AD1488), a fence was set up at the entrance of the alley, so it was renamed "Dashilan"; it means big fence in Chinese. In the late Qing Dynasty, commerce developed here and a commercial district was formed.
The history of Dashilan can be traced back for more than 500 years. It retains the urban texture with the longest history in Beijing. It is also the area with the densest historical and cultural heritage of old Beijing. It is a mirror that reflects the historical development of Beijing.

在這個影片中，我將帶您體驗中國北京前門地區的胡同。戴著VR眼鏡觀看該影片會有更好的體驗。
前門大街毗鄰天安門廣場和故宮。這次我的健行是從大江胡同出發，穿過前門大街主街，然後到達大柵欄胡同。前門有很多購物的地方。我最喜歡的是那裡的小吃。這些都是老北京的小吃。整條街不僅看起來很漂亮，而且因為食物而聞起來很香。

北京古都的文化是「胡同文化」。北京的胡同最早起源於元代（西元1260年），最多時有6000多條。胡同的兩側一般都有庭院。
胡同從外表看都很相似，但內在特徵卻不同。它們不僅是這座城市的文化遺產，也是北京老百姓生活的地方。北京人對胡同有著特殊的感情。

北京前門大柵欄歷史文化街區位於北京市西城區前門大街西側，西以新華南大街為界，南至珠市口西大街，北至前門西大街，佔地面積約1.15平方公里。大柵欄建於明朝永樂十八年（西元1420年），當時稱廊坊四條。明弘治元年（西元1488年），巷口設柵欄，故改名「大柵欄」；中文意思是大柵欄。清末，這裡商業發達，形成商業區。
大柵欄的歷史已有500多年的歷史。保留了北京歷史最悠久的城市肌理。也是老北京歷史文化遺產最密集的地區。它是反映北京歷史發展的鏡子。
