胡同三輪車 Hutong rickshaw ride / 中國北京 Beijing, China / SML.20140503.6D.31918.P1.BW
In Beijing, hutongs (胡同) are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan (四合院), traditional courtyard residences. Neighborhoods were formed by the interconnection of these alleys, and the word hutong can also sometimes be used to refer to such neighborhoods.
The alleys are long and narrow, so while you can walk around on foot, the best way to see the hutongs is to go with one of these rickshaw rides (pictured), which functions similar to a hop-on / hop-off transport around the neighbourhoods.
Photographed with the Canon EOS 6D + Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM in Beijing, China.
