A photo taken on November 8, 2007 shows the miniature scenery of siheyuan(Beijing's traditional courtyard) exhibited at the 2nd Beijing International Cultural & Creative Industry Expo in Beijing. Hutong means a street, lane and alley, and is in fact the passage formed by lines of siheyuan where most Beijing residents live. Hutong serves as a window into Beijing's folk life, the "encyclopedia of the history and culture of Beijing". [newsphoto] |
