According to Tian Yuhao, a journalist from China News Agency, Li Shisan is a blogger on a social media platform. In his works, the blue bricks and green tiles in Beijing serve as the background for the characters. In recent years, living near the White Pagoda Temple, he found that the streets were much cleaner and there were many new faces. However, just three years ago, messy overhead cables, overflowing garbage bins, and debris piled up in the corners were all problems that troubled residents. The changes in hutongs have benefited from the street and alley governance implemented in Beijing in recent years. Since 2017, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Management, together with the Capital Civilization Office and other units, has organized two rounds of three-year actions to improve the Environmental remediation of back streets and alleys. In the renovation, Beijing focuses on planning and design, and clarifies the control standards for 36 elements in ten categories, including the facade, municipal facilities, and urban furniture, in terms of color, temperament, style, texture, and other aspects of the back streets and alleys.

Zhang Li, deputy director of the Subdistricts of China in Xinjiekou, Xicheng District, said that the removal of 55 poles made the white tower appear in front of the public at a glance. With its unique cultural advantages, the street has introduced various business formats such as catering, coffee, flower shops, and book bars, enriching the street landscape and living services. ▲ On July 11, Xicha Hutong, Gongmenkou, Xicheng District.

During the five years from 2017 to 2022, thousands of back streets and alleys in Beijing have been "rejuvenated", and a group of civilized streets and alleys with the style of the capital, ancient capital, and era have emerged. Some of the living problems faced by residents have also been solved.

Not only does it bear the daily life and transportation of over 1700 residents along the route, but it is also a necessary way for teachers and students of Beijing No.2 Middle School to go to and from school within the hutong.
