东交民巷

东交民巷

　　东交民巷是北京最长的胡同，总长约3公里，西起天安门广场东路，东至崇文门内大街。每个城市都有大大小小的巷子，北京管这些巷子叫“胡同”，始建于元代。几百年来，这些胡同就像血管一样与北京人的生活联系在一起，在北京有名胡同三百六，无名胡同赛牛毛，这句俗语广为流传，可见北京胡同的密布情况。现如今，这些历史悠久的老胡同里每天都上演着北京人的故事，记载着千年古都的历史变迁。

　　东交民巷诞生于13世纪末，那时候江南粮食要通过大运河运到元大都，是在这里卸放，所以这条巷子在当时称为“江米巷”，永乐十八年，朱棣迁都北京，这条“江米巷”就成了城里的一条长街。这是北京最长的一条胡同，在旧中国时这里是使馆区。
