（Vicky Wang, Hong Kong）

　　“It’s really strange—we’re in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world, but in these hutongs it feels as if we’re in a village in the countryside. There are lots of trees everywhere, and all the buildings are only one or two storeys high. Also, there aren’t many cars in the hutongs, so they are quite quiet—very different from the streets in the centre of Hong Kong! It’s nice to stroll around here and stop for a drink in one of the little cafes or bars by the lakes.”

　　“When you visit the modern parts of Beijing-with the wide roads, tall, concrete and glass buildings, and neon lights（霓虹灯）, you can imagine that you are almost anywhere in the world. It’s the old hutongs, temples and palaces that are really interesting and beautiful. It’s a shame that so little of the old city remains. I’ve taken lots of photographs while I’ve been here. The next time I come back here, I don’t know how much of old Beijing will be left.”

　　（Yu Lou, Shanghai）

　　“I don’t see what’s so interesting about these hutongs. The streets are too narrow－I couldn’t drive my Mercedes down them. And most of the houses are old and dirty. China should have a modern capital city that we can all be proud of. Let’s get rid of these hutongs and replace them with modern offices and flats! ”
