Oprah's？Or just gossiping？Any ideas？Let's go and see！
Oh，they are building a new Great Wall. But their bricks are Chinese Mahjong！A very popular pastime among the Hutong people，especially among the senior citizens who have retired. You probably wonder why some senior citizens over there are wearing red-colored armbands. They are actually the voluntary neighborhood watch. And their armbands say“On Duty”。If you think they are too old to be a professional security guard，you are wrong. Believe me，just because of these lovely Grandmas，this area has been a peaceful and safe place for many years. And if you don't believe it，you'd better not test them！
The main attraction of Hutong life is friendly and interpersonal communication. Children living in one courtyard play together and grow up together like one big family. So now our government is trying to preserve such Hutong area in Beijing. Without permission，nobody is allowed to tear down old houses to build high-rise apartments. We want to save it as a treasure to show our later generations what Beijing used to be like.
OK. Time files. It's almost the end of the tour. Today，through our Hutong tour，you have learnt a lot about our traditional Chinese houses and way of life.
I hope you are not only happy with what you have seen but also get a better understanding of the culture and people in the Hutong area. I do hope，one day，you will come back again，I will invite you to my home！
Thank you for your attention，and hope you enjoy the rest of the tour in China！
