This hutong was once included within the imperial city grounds. Today the Ming and Qing dynasty archives were kept in a grand pavillion here. The imperial style building can be visited, as it has been turned into a modem art gallery. The Yunfeng Gallery has some of the best of both modem and classic Chinese painting on display in the ancient cavernous building. The space and lighting is great!
