Beijing Hutong: South Luogu Lane Photos
South Luogu Lane is 786 meters long and 8 meters wide, connecting Gulou East Street on its north and Di’anmen East Street on its south. This lane keeps architectural style and folk customs accumulated over 800 years. It preserves the complete street and lane in “fish sketch” of the Yuan Dynasty. The lane was called "Luogu Lane"  in the Ming Dynasty because it has the feature of gong or drum with the middle part higher than the two ends. In 1750, the lane was divided into South Luogu Lane and Northern Luogu Lane.
