Qinglong Hutong gets a new look thanks to renewal program

A year ago, cars and bicycles were parked messily in the alley under numerous cable wires hanging in the air along Qinglong Hutong, but now everything is in order.

From the cool black sign at the entrance of the hutong (traditional alleyways) to the flat asphalt road, the residents of Qinglong Hutong have seen fundamental changes in their neighborhood over the past year.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Qinglong Hutong Community Renewal Project was held on Sept 26, showcasing the first phase of the project. Separately, an exhibition was also held from Sept 22 to 29 to introduce the renewal project to the public.
