Beijing Hutong: South Gong and Drum Lane Pictures

South Gong and Drum 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 retains the 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"  during the Ming Dynasty because it has the feature of gong or drum with the middle part raised higher than the two ends. In 1750, the lane was divided into South Gong and Drum Lane and North Gong and Drum Lane. Attraction Intro: South Gong and Drum Lane
