Dongjiaominxiang hutong is also a loooong hutong in Beijing, which used to be the embassy area, there are many Western-style buildings, the viewing points are very dense, the big trees on both sides of the road are shady, very cool, it is a very suitable citywalk route for summer~
Here is my route:
Beijing Police Museum: Gray building, the former site of Citibank (it was a Monday when I went, and I was not allowed to enter at the traffic control intersection, but ordinary residents could enter)

Former France Embassy Site: The shape of the embassy gate is based on the triumphal arch, and you can feel the powerful momentum.
The former site of the France Post Office: It is a combination of Chinese and Western architecture, granite veneer pilasters, very retro
St. Michael’s Catholic Church: A typical Gothic building, it is one of the four cathedrals in Beijing and is only open during ceremonies
Former Belgium Embassy: Exterior is a country house-style building, now the Zijin Hotel.
Tips: If you take the subway, you can follow this route backwards
