Surreptitiously slotted between Yonghegong Street and Andingmen, Fangjia Hutong is one of Beijing's yet-to-be-discovered cultural pockets. The original site of the massive machine tool factory has now been transformed into the big courtyard at No.46 that's also known as "The Mini 798" after the city's larger and more famous art district. Today the space is filled with arty restaurants and cafes, luxury fashion stores, a hotel and a theater, so the hutong still offers plenty of things to do if you get tired of soaking in its old-timey quietude.[China.org.cn]
