The most beautiful Western-style Hutong in Beijing

Dongjiao Xinhai serves as the longest hutong in Beijing, witnessing the ups and downs of the past century. With its grand and magnificent Western-style buildings and unusual tranquility, it possesses a unique vitality in the eastern suburbs of the city.

The facade is built with alternating red bricks and stones, with a bright red semi-circular dome at the top. The overall design shows a horizontal division in red and white, displaying distinct Dutch classical style. It is currently used by the China Court Museum and other organizations.

Former site of the Japanese Consulate

The Dongjiaomin Alley is the oldest existing building, with a single-story brick and wood structure, a brick vaulted porch, and a "high-level mix and match" with a strong Western European classical color. The exquisite carved flowers embedded in the walls are also a highlight.
As a Chinese classical style, the wall is made of plain bricks with exquisite carvings, embodying Chinese elements. Combined with the Western architectural style of the porch and windows, it represents the typical architectural eclecticism of modern China.

St. Michael's Catholic Church

The main body of the building is gray, with a tall and slender spire, grand Gothic style, and a sense of solemnity. The lush wutong tree with vines at the front gate adds a touch of poetry.
