Templeside Hutong Guest House, Beijing

Beijing Templeside Youth Hostel. Probably the most special and original local hostel in Beijing, The hostel is so fantastic. It hides behind the street, deeply and quietly in a Hutong (historical narrow alley) and Si He Yuan (a kind of old style Chinese house), full of Beijng's local taste. It impresses with its beautiful garden courtyard, super clean western style bathrooms, brand new bedding and facilities, individually controlled air-conditioning, city center location and super convenient public transportations, considerable service and travelling arrangements, etc. Of course, warm English speaking staff is more essential.

Staying in this hostel can help you get a better understanding of Beijing's local life. You could never get the same feeling and traveling experience from any other places. Wandering in the long and puzzling hutong, smiling to lovely local neighbors, seeing the blue sky in the no-roof courtyard, hearing the whistle from swiftly flying-by doves, watering the garden, walking the dog, the Templeside house gives you 'a glimpse of what life in the city is really like'.

Living here, you could get more fun than a normal hostel. We tell you what things to do, where to go and where to eat from a local's view. Beijing has not only the Great wall, the Emperor Palace, Buddhist temple, folk arts, traditional opera and acrobatics, but also it has pop music show, modern art gallery, crazy club, bar, and secret night life. We will show you all.

In one word, once you are here, you will be here again.
