RE: Walking On The Old Beijing Street
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Also, I have explored some HUTONG in this old part of the city. If you don't know what 'Hutong?' Then I want to tell you, short—they are the narrow streets between the old Beijing people's residential yards, which are like narrow streets for the local people in the residential area, and are still protected as a sign of Beijing's history. Every year, many people visit this area, and you can see a lot of walking people in the area, as I have experienced there.
Dear @tanzil2024 !
Hassan!
I've always admired your talent for discovering and photographing wonderful and beautiful scenes!
I like the simple, small town feel more than the glitz and glamour of a big city!
This is the first time I heard about HUTONG!
HUTONG looks like a street built centuries ago!
I guessed that people living in HUTONG are not rich! I believe that people who are not rich show the truth of the world!
HUTONG shows the hidden truth of Beijing!
By the way, I wonder if there is a street like HUTONG in Bangladesh!
Don no batt!
The term is more or less very traditional, and people living in this area may be not poor as you said as it is just in the center of the city and they are not allowed to build city in this protected area, otherwise it can be turned into a business hub very easily and a tiny plot here could be a reason to be a rich people in my opinion as in Dhaka City if you have a tiny plot of land, you will be a rich without any investment as the builders company will lease the land and construct a multistoried apartment building and they will also give you some of them that can be enough for you to be a rich man in comparison of the overall earning of the people of Bangladesh. I don't know the details about this area, and also, the system may not be like Dhaka, as the governance system is different here.
Dear @tanzil2024 !
Hassan!
People who have visited Bangladesh say that there are no historically old buildings there. In Bangladesh, various street foods are sold to attract tourists. It is a pity that Bangladesh does not have historical buildings that are good for foreign tourists to enjoy!
We have some, but they are not so many, and are located in various districts outside of Dhaka. Actually, most of the foreigners don't study before going there, they think Dhaka is Bangladesh, and our government is also not so capable in tourism marketing. You can search on the net and find many historical buildings, mosques, and some ancient relics. I think those are more than the area of Bangladesh. You check that one of our Hive mates (@grindle) is travelling to Bangladesh currently, and discovering some unseen beauty and places that most foreigners don't know while they visit Bangladesh.
