CCC guides you to north Xuanwumen area, southwest Beijing within second ring road. We will meander along New Culture Street and pass by many historical celebrities and buildings and learn related history and fascinating stories.

We will first visit the Republic Era building of Lu Xun School, which was the former Beijing women's Normal Collage, where writer Lun Xun lectured here during 1923-1926, Xu Guangping, a student of this collage later became his wife. ; Lun Xun wrote "In memory of Miss Liu Hezhen" after the death of the girl student Liu Hezhen and others during the March 18 Massacre.

Then we will pass the Prince Keqin (Qunwang)'s Mansion (one of the eight one of eight great families in early Qing Dynasty), where it was the private mansion of Xiong Xiling, who was appointed by Yuan Shikai as the Premier and Finance Minister in 1913.

We will also visit the Former Residence and Museum of Li Dazhao, chief librarian and professor of history at Beijing University, co-founder of the Chinese Communist party with Chen Duxiu in 1921. He was the first important Chinese intellectual to support the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and began to study and lecture on Marxism. His career was cut short when he was seized and hanged by the warlord Zhang Zuolin, but his ideas of a revolution of the impoverished peasantry were brought to fruition by Mao Zedong.

The "Cathedral of the Saviour" is a surviving western church in Beijing. It was designed and built by Bishop Charles Perry Scott, Church of England, in 1907 with the money from Boxer's Indemnity from Qing Government. It served until 1958 as the seat of the North China diocese, after which it was decommissioned. From that period until its restoration in 1996, the building served at various times as warehouse and workshop.

We will then vanish in the winding hutongs and of course we will always encounter local residents in their neighborhood playing chess, the elderly sitting in front of door basking. Or you will see workers delivering coals with their three wheel cart to the courtyard houses, bycycle man repairing tires and second-hand goods vendors hawking, etc.
