Hey there! Did you know that in the heart of Beijing’s old city, there’s a special place called Courtyard No. 27? 😃 It’s in a traditional street called a “hutong”, which is like a narrow alley. These hutongs are super cool, but sometimes they can be a little quiet because many elderly people live there.
But guess what? A young woman named Niu Ruixue, who loves Beijing very much, wanted to bring more fun and energy to these streets! So she created an activity center for seniors at No. 27 Neiwubu Street. 🏡
At Courtyard No. 27, young and old people come together to have a great time. They have afternoon tea parties 🫖, where seniors can enjoy tasty treats and chat. They also have coffee-making classes ☕, where everyone learns to make delicious coffee in creative ways!
One of the coolest things they do is celebrate the Lantern Festival, a tradition that’s over 300 years old! 🏮✨ They make beautiful lanterns and have fun festivals that light up the whole neighborhood.
Courtyard No. 27 is a place filled with laughter, joy, and friendship. It’s helping to bring life and happiness back to the hutongs. So next time you’re in Beijing, maybe you can visit and see how amazing it is when people of all ages come together! 🤗
