Destination Introduction
The Siheyuan at No. 20 Xinge Road is located in the northwest of Chongwen District, within Xinglong Street, west of Chongwai Street. It was built in the early years of the Republic of China.
Location: Located in the northwest of Chongwen District
The courtyard has three main rooms each on the south and north sides, with one side room attached to each. There are also three wing rooms on the east and west sides. All are gable-and-hip roofed with clay tiles, featuring front porches. Corridors connect the main rooms with the wing rooms, and the eaves are decorated with cloisonné patterns, while window frames are adorned with ingot-shaped ornaments. The architecture is exquisite and relatively well-preserved, making it a fairly standard and typical example of Beijing’s traditional courtyard houses with cultural value. It currently serves as staff housing for the State Council General Office. In 1984, it was designated as a municipal-level cultural heritage protection site. Transportation Information
The area enjoys convenient transportation nearby, with bus routes 3, 8, 23, 41, 60, and trolleybus route 106 (Ciqikou Station).
