legend

The origin of the East Cotton alley, like all the hutongs in Beijing, has its origin, but there is no time to research. Just from this East Cotton alley to the East, West, North and south, you can find many celebrities' old houses. The courtyard is a kind of modern bungalow, which seems to be built to imitate the frame style of quadrangle. There are guardrails on the roof, which can be viewed from afar, but you can't see far away. The buildings around block the vision that you want to go far away. The ancient houses under the buildings highlight the traces of history.
