🌿 Walk Intro :
Starting from Dongdan North Street, traffic and pedestrians interweave along this long-established commercial axis, which still maintains a steady, high-frequency urban rhythm. Turning into Dongtangzi Hutong, the scale tightens abruptly. Gray brick courtyard walls stand alongside high-rise façades, compressing multiple layers of the city’s timeline into a single, narrow lane.

Dongtangzi Hutong is closely tied to China’s modern history. In the late Qing dynasty, the Zongli Yamen—the office responsible for foreign affairs—was located here. Influential figures such as Cai Yuanpei, Shen Congwen, Wu Jieping, Lin Qiaozhi, and Ding Xilin also once lived in this area. Walking through the hutong, it feels less like a residential space and more like a historical thread still being used in everyday life.

One side of the hutong connects to Waijiaobu Street, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China was once based. The solid, inward-facing courtyards stand quietly along the street, forming a restrained yet clear contrast with the surrounding modern urban fabric.

Returning to Dongdan North Street and continuing toward Dongdan Station, history gradually recedes behind the streetscape, and the city returns to its everyday flow. This walk is not about looking back at the past, but about moving alongside time in the present.

🌿 散步簡介 :
從東單北大街出發，車流與行人交錯，這條老商業軸線仍然維持著穩定而高頻的城市節奏。轉入東堂子胡同，空間尺度驟然收緊，灰磚院牆與高層立面並置，城市的時間層次在這裡被壓縮到同一條巷子裡。

東堂子胡同與中國近代史關係緊密。清末專司外交事務的總理各國事務衙門曾設於此，而蔡元培、沈從文、吳階平、林巧稚、丁西林等多位近現代重要人物也曾在這裡生活。行走其間，胡同不再只是居住空間，更像一段被日常使用著的歷史脈絡。

胡同一側連通外交部街，這裡曾是新中國外交部所在地。厚重的院落門庭靜靜立在街邊，與周圍的現代城市介面形成克制而清晰的對比。

回到東單北大街，再走向東單站，歷史逐漸退到街巷背後，城市重新回到日常流動中。這段散步不是回望過去，而是在當下繼續與時間並行。
