Now the remaining length is only thirty or forty meters. Hutongs are small, but they are often included in the eight hutongs.
7. Wailangying Interchange
The name of the lane is Wailangying, which can be interpreted as the place where officials live together, but it is also possible that the place was originally the tomb of strangers.

Extended data
There are many hutongs in Beijing, and the only eight hutongs are famous at home and abroad, especially in the Qing Dynasty, when many officials often came here.
In fact, the "eight hutongs" mentioned by old Beijingers do not refer exclusively to these eight streets and alleys, but generally refer to the Dashilan area outside Qianmen, because there are nearly 100 brothels of different sizes in the hutongs outside these eight streets and alleys. It's just that the brothels in these eight hutongs were mostly first-class and second-class, and the prostitutes' "grades" were relatively high, so they were so famous.
