Wudaoying Hutong, Beijing’s petty bourgeoisie Wudaoying Hutong is next to the Lama Temple and parallel to Chengxian Street. It is said that this place was the garrison of the guards of the Ming Dynasty, and it has become synonymous with petty bourgeoisie today.

There are many places in Beijing where you can appreciate ginkgo trees. Maybe you will go to Sanlitun, Tantuo Temple and other places next year. Autumn in Beijing is colorful, maybe in the future I will go to Xiangshan or Pofengling to enjoy the red leaves.

The Guozijian and Confucian Temple on Chengxian Street were not able to take place this time due to time constraints. Arrange the time well, and you can spend 1.5 to 2 days in the Lama Temple and Ditan Park area. The beautiful scenery and delicious food are exhilarating!
