The Hutong School is located in a beautifully renovated traditional Chinese courtyard in the Shuangsi Hutong in central Beijing. We are conveniently located inside the Northern second ring, just 200 meters south of the Gulou metro stop.

The Drum and Bell Tower, as well as the picturesque inner lakes of Houhai and Qianhai are within walking distance (5 minutes) from our school. Even to Beijing’s most famous cultural site, the Forbidden City (Gu Gong), it only takes 10 minutes by bike from the Hutong School.
