Ready, Set...China Take 2

One of the places that I wanted to see was the Hutong area, it is the “old village” – people still live in these areas that surround the Forbidden City.  They are usually 1 to 2 room dwellings, about 20’ X20’, have no bathroom facilities still today and in some structures there is no running water.  They do have a community shared bathroom.
We took a rickshaw ride through the neighborhood and then meet with a family that lived there.  It is quite interesting. 
After the visit it was LUNCH TIME....
