Lishi Hutong

The name of Lishi Hutong was first introduced in the Ming Dynasty. It is rumored that this place was once a donkey market, so it was named Donkey City Hutong, also known as Shanghai City. When the Qing Xuantong, the donkey city was abolished, and its homonym was changed to Lishi Hutong. Take the meaning of "Lixian Corporal" to "Cultural Revolution" to Ruijin Road 28. I think that this Lishi Hutong can be out of high people, all in the court have a head and face. Hutong Neidongkou Road North 123 Courtyard is the Qing Dynasty, the former residence of the university scholar Jingxin. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Prime Minister Liu Wei, his former residence at No. 129, Xitou, Tongtong, Donkey City, has now become a private house, and it still retains the luxury of the year from the appearance. There was a cross stone on the south wall of his street, engraved with "Mr. Liu Shiqi's former residence". Shiqi is Liu Qi's number, that cross stone has long existed.

The name of Lishi Hutong is not the meaning of Lixian Corporal, but the original site of the Hutong in the early years was the donkey city of Handan. Therefore, the hutong was named the donkey city hutong, and the homonym was changed to the homonym Lishi Hutong. The most famous hutong is Liu Yu Liu Luoguo who lived here.

Lishi Hutong is a very story-telling alley. It is legendary that Liu Yu (Liu Luoguo) lived in this alley. The red door in the picture is said to be Liu Yu's descendants' house. According to legend, there are 3 Rolls-Royce in the yard, a large family.

Lishi Hutong has subway lines 2, 5, and 6 in and out. There are many buses on Dongsi South Street in Xitou, Hutong. It is more convenient. Go to Tiananmen to see the flag raising. You can take a taxi to Dongtou. You don't need to book. Hutong cuisine, old Beijing Zefengju stew is good. There is also Liu Yu's old house in the hutong.

Very ordinary alley

The alley on the east side of Dongsi South Street is very historical. There are several blue bricks and tiles inside. The courtyard of Zhumen is closed. Although the private residence is difficult to see, the flowers and plants discharged in front of the door are scattered, the flowers are blooming, the aroma is fragrant, and the taste is interesting. Lishi Hutong, allegedly originally known as the Donkey City Hutong, also known as the City of Shanghai, is rumored to have been a donkey market, so it was named. When the donkey city was abolished in Qing Xuantong, it was renamed Lishi Hutong with its homonym. While visiting, it is also good to understand the history.
