Last sunday I visited Wudaoying Hutong by the\u00a0<\/span>Lama Temple<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for the first time. As a frequenter of Houhai and <\/span>Nanluoguxiang Hutongs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, I felt quite at home when walking on the narrow lane of Wudaoying. I found here and there small construction sites implying this lane was undergoing big change or gentrification. Will the unreasonable gentrification fall on Wudaoying? Hopefuly this will not occure, and not follow the road that the empty Qianmen Dajie has taken. <\/span><\/div>\n
There are many of caf\u00e9s and shops and more are being built in the lane. The local government has assisted in developing Wudaoying Hutong into a second <\/span>Nanluoguxiang Hutongs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, further protecting and developing hutongs. <\/span><\/div>\n
