Shijia Hutong Museum:

-

As urbanizati­on advances, many quadrangle­s in Beijing have been given a protected status as architectu­ral heritages. The Shijia Hutong Museum is renovated from the former residence of Ling Shuhua, one of the three talented women during the period of the Republic of China (1912-1949). The compound has two layers of courtyards, and hosts eight exhibition halls and one multi-purpose hall. The exhibits there represent the old ways of hutong life. There are two rooms preserving the decoration and arrangemen­t of Beijing households in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
