7. Zhujiahutong
Zhujiahu Hutong is divided into Liuwei Hutong and He Miaomiao Hutong. There are more than 20 third-class brothels in this hutong, including Yichun House, Lu Shengyuan and Hongshun. Qingfeng Lane, Qingfeng Avenue, Zhumao Hutong, Yan Jia Hutong and Xiyangmao Hutong, which are connected with Zhujiahu, are also the gathering places of brothels and earthen kilns in old Beijing, but they are not as famous as the "Eight Hutong".

8. Li Shamao Interchange
This hutong is small, with a total of 2 1, but in old Beijing, brothels occupy nearly 20 yards. The brothels here are mainly third-class, and the famous ones are Shuangfeng Building, Meixin Building, Yongquan Building, Tianshun Building, Quansheng Building and Liansheng Store. Because this hutong is close to some theaters and restaurants, there are also several second-class brothels.
Address: Near some theaters and restaurants.
Although the vicissitudes of the eight hutongs are closely related to crime, degeneration and drug abuse, they also witnessed the atrocities of foreign powers' invasion in the late Qing Dynasty and the sorrow of regime change in the early Republic of China.
Walking through Cherry Street, just a foot away from Liulichang, which is separated from the eight hutongs, I came to another completely different world. The origin of Liulichang can be traced back to the Liulichang established here in the Yuan Dynasty. After Yongle, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved to Beijing, a large number of glazed tiles and related components were needed for the construction of Beijing. Therefore, on the basis of the original Yuan Dynasty, the scale of glazed tile kiln factory was expanded.
The "eight hutongs" mentioned by old Beijingers do not refer to these eight streets and alleys, but generally refer to Dashilan area outside Qianmen, because there are nearly 100 brothels of different sizes in the hutongs outside these eight streets and alleys. It's just that the brothels in these eight hutongs were mostly first-class and second-class, and the prostitutes' "grades" were relatively high, so they were so famous.
