📍Xiaoheihu Hutong, also known as Heihu Hutong or Heihuer Hutong, is located in Xicheng District, Beijing, on the west side of Old Drum Tower Street. It was divided into Daheihu Hutong and Xiaoheihu Hutong after 1911. 👍In 2022, it was included in the first batch of the list of traditional place names in the core functional area of the capital (streets and alleys). 🌈No. 24 and No. 26 Xiaoheihu Hutong were once the site of the Jinlu Shengmu Zhuzhong Niangniang Temple. The construction date of this temple is unknown, but it is certain that it was once the Zhenwu Temple in the Ming Dynasty and was renamed Zhuzhong Niangniang Temple in the Qing Dynasty. Although the remains of the Zhuzhong Niangniang Temple no longer exist, its story is still passed down by people, and the only thing left is a plaque preserved in the Big Bell Temple Museum. 📌It is very close to the Drum Tower and can be arranged together.

🎶Travel with the music, Zhao Lei's version of "Drum Tower" lyrics [The lyrics have been omitted to avoid copyright issues] 🌈"Drum Tower" is a song written and sung by musician Zhao Lei. The song was first sung in Zhao Lei's 2015 "Our Time" national tour concert in Beijing. 👍In 2015, there was a sudden rush of people taking photos and checking in at Beijing's Drum Tower. After checking, I found out it was because of Zhao Lei's "Drum Tower". It is still a crowded place now. 📍The photos were taken in the Shichahai and Drum Tower area

The Drum Tower in winter ❄️ is a unique romance in Beijing. 💕 Drum Tower Street is beautiful. The alleys are full of history. The sunset shines on the Drum Tower, creating a perfect light and shadow effect. - You must go to the top floor viewing platform! I recommend the second floor of the English Baking Town. You can eat desserts and drink afternoon tea while enjoying a direct view of the Drum Tower. 🔆

| Free-range chicken hot pot is the best match for winter! 🍽 [Food Guide] Yue Gui Hao Cai Niu Ji Hot Pot Specialty Store (Gulou West Street Branch) 📍Address: No. 75, Building 3, Pingfang Building 2, Gulou West Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing 🕙Opening hours: 11:00–14:00, 17:00–21:00 💰Average cost per person: CNY 130 🍜Restaurant rating: 8/10 Chicken hot pot is perfect for Beijing's winter, warm and cozy. The interior decoration is very warm, with a homey feeling. Guangxi sour food, a rare snack, is actually various fruits sprinkled with chili powder. It feels like dark cuisine, but it is really delicious, with the aroma of fruit and chili powder. It's my first time eating it. The chicken hot pot base is made from 280-day-old free-range chicken, freshly made, with a large amount of ginger slices, which can effectively remove the fishy smell of chicken. The chicken is firm, and with the secret chicken dipping sauce, it is even more delicious. Mustard greens, a unique southern dish, is a seasonal dish in autumn. It tastes slightly bitter, but is refreshing. Taro is also a must-order item for hot pot. After cooking, it is sandy and can be paired with sweet and salty dishes.
