Xijiaomin Xiang, Traditional hutong alley in central Beijing, China.
The one-kilometer street contains numerous heritage buildings, traditional courtyard residences, and former bank headquarters that represent Beijing's architectural evolution.
During the Ming Dynasty period of 1368-1644, this street formed part of Jiaomi Xiang, connecting the western section to Dongjiaomin Xiang near the Forbidden City.
This street functioned as Beijing's financial center in the early 1900s, housing major institutions including the Daqing Bank, which later became the Bank of China.
Located west of Tiananmen Square, the alley extends from Zhengyang Gate to North Xinhua Street and connects to multiple transportation options.
The Continental Bank building at the eastern entrance stands as the finest example of Western classical architecture designed by a Chinese architect in Beijing.
