[quote=LEOPOLD219,241700]Beijing, a historical and cultural city of 3000 years, is facing an embarrassing situation. The priceless heritage is disappearing. Hutong ,once was seen as the symbol of Beijing, is a typical architecture of Beijing. Hutong has witnessed the vicissitudes of Beijing, but now it is driven toward extinction. During the modernization of Beijing, these ancient structures are being abandoned by Beijingers. Many have been mercilessly demolished and replaced by skyscrapers. What a pity! Someday, we can see only the high buidings made concrete and steel in Beijing.[/quote]
