The ancient alleys in Zhenyuan have a strong lineup and rich content, which guarantees that you will still have fun after drilling for a few days. The ancient alleys in Zhenyuan are not like the hutongs in Beijing, which follow the rules and are stable. The gates of the deep houses here are not parallel to the lanes, nor are they facing the main house.
Most of the existing old houses in the ancient alleys were built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the history of the alleyways is more difficult to trace back. There is no way of knowing how many alleys there were in the past, but there are at least seven more: Shipaifang Street, Sifangjing Alley, Fuxing Alley, Renshou Alley, Chongzikou Alley, Mimaou Alley and Chenjiajing Alley. In the ancient alleys extending in all directions, if you want to go deeper, you can go up, if you want to retreat, you can go down, but every choice of the right road means saying goodbye to the unique scenery of another alley.
