When it comes to old Beijing, besides Nanluogu Xiang, you should also know about Beiluogu Xiang. Several small hutongs extend on both sides of Nanluogu Xiang and Beiluogu Xiang, together forming one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, which was once a gathering place for the wealthy and powerful. Nanluogu Xiang and Beiluogu Xiang are on a straight line, with Beiluogu Xiang slightly longer at over 800 meters and Nanluogu Xiang at over 700 meters, totaling about 1.5 kilometers in length.
Beiluogu Xiang belonged to the Xianghuang Banner in the Qing Dynasty and was named after the common people's Luguoxiang, which means "drum and gong alley." Another theory is that the name comes from the many drum and gong shops in the area, which is north of Gulou East Street. It has been called by this name since the Republic of China.
Beiluogu Xiang starts from Andingmen West Street in the north and ends at Gulou East Street in the south, with only one street separating it from Nanluogu Xiang. Compared to the already well-known Nanluogu Xiang, Beiluogu Xiang has not yet been invaded by crowded shops and crowds of people. It is more suitable for people who like peace and quiet to stroll around, with its walls made of blue bricks, closed doors, abandoned bicycles, and various flower racks.
Address: Andingmen Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing
