The gentrification of Beijing’s hutongs
Iain Masterton takes photographs of Beijing’s hutongs, the city’s maze of narrow streets and alleyways. These hutongs–and the way of life they foster–are increasingly falling victim to rapid and unchecked development. Sean Gallagher documents their destruction in a collection of photographs entitled Bye Bye Beijing.
Update: A simple Google image search also turns up some great hutong photographs.
