Advantages: Beautiful buildings and a look at life for many ordinary citizens of Beijing Disadvantages: Can be busy and cramped
A hutong is an ancient alleyway or lane found in Beijing which can date back as far as the Yuan dynasty of China in the 13th century. The crisscrossing alleys can now offer a glimpse of another part of this ancient city that is quite different to the major attractions such as the Summer Palace or the Forbidden City.
The tiny, twisted and interconnected lanes wind through whole areas of the city of Beijing. The lanes are lined with traditional stone houses all arranged in quadrangles, so four houses around a courtyard, which are beautiful old fashioned buildings. They often involve carved pillars, window frames and doors and the open spaces of the courtyard lets in air and light to otherwise quite cramped areas-some of the lanes really are tiny with less than a metre of breadth.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Hutongs, Beijing
Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with Disadvantages: none so far
I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis.
The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it ...
Advantages: convenient location, good service and delicious food. Disadvantages: Expensive.
expensive. If you pay £70 a night you just get a 28 square metre room on the lower levels. In this case you can not see any beautiful view outside. Also the bathroom is very small. You might just be able to stand in the bath and have a shower.
The rear garden:the Hotel Kunlun would say they have a rear garden which not every hotel in the near area can have, but when you walk there you just see a very small garden overlooking the busy Third Ring Road.
I was there with my parents and friends just for special days. To me it was an expensive hotel. Now after travelling a few places in the UK and staying at a few B&Bs I changed my mind about the hotel. Its service and accommodation really deserve the money you pay.
So if you do visit Beijing give it a go.
