Smoking Pipe Street
The Smoking Pipe Street is located in Xicheng District. Somewhere near by the Shichahai or Hou hai Bar street. It's one of the oldest Hutongs in Beijing.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there were many smoking pipe stores along the street. So it was named Smoking Pipe Street. But some people said because the shape of the street looks like Smoking Pipe.
The feature of street is ancient and fashion together. You can find nice stores for souvenir, clothes,even bar or restaurant. When you walk from Houhai Bar street to Drum Tower, you will pass by the Smoking Pipe Street. This street is just 232 meters long, but it's very interesting to look around there.
Bus No.5, No. 82 or No.60 to Get off at the Drum Tower station.

its very neat and nice place to hang out in this hutong lots of shops and bars and close to Houhai Bars zone. The only thing I would complain is that I wish this Hutong can be longer
