Bicycle in Shadows

During a January 2015 business trip to China, a colleague and I had a free day in Beijing. We took a motorcycle sidecar tour that brought us through the hutongs. There was something interesting at every turn.
From Wiki:
In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuan, traditional courtyard residences. Many neighbourhoods were formed by joining one siheyuan to another to form a hutong, and then joining one hutong to another. The word hutong is also used to refer to such neighbourhoods.
Since the mid-20th century, the number of Beijing hutongs has dropped dramatically as they are demolished to make way for new roads and buildings. More recently, some hutongs have been designated as protected areas in an attempt to preserve this aspect of Chinese cultural history.
