Hutong is a network that runs through the main street. It's very close to the city. It's convenient to make a soy sauce and two pounds of eggs, but it seems far away. There is no traffic here, it is always quiet. Occasionally, there is a "head call" when shaving, a "boudoir shock" when sharpening scissors, and a short flute played by a blind fortune teller. Far from being noisy, these sounds are quieter in the alley.

Hutong and quadrangle are integrated. There are many quadrangles connected on both sides of the hutong.
