The Shijia Hutong Museum is the first museum specializing in Hutong culture in Beijing, which displays a miniature of 130 Beijing courtyards and more than 70 kinds of sounds once existing in hutong such as "Zhenjingrun (the sound from iron sheets, indicating the coming of knife-sharpening vendor)" and "Huchengzi (the sound from string bells, indicating the coming of herbalist)". The Shijia Hutong Museum is a very good place to learn about ordinary people and ordinary lives in Beijing. What the museum exhibits serves to tell the story of hutong for visitors.
