3 最短的胡同 一尺大街

北京城有一条最短的胡同，在琉璃厂东街东南，桐梓胡同东北口至樱桃胡同北口这段，叫一尺大街。虽说是条最短的胡同，可也不止一尺长，胡同长度有25米多。以前这条胡同一共有6家买卖铺子，北面3家都是刻字的；南面3家店铺，中间是铁匠铺，西边是一家小酒馆，东边是一家理发店。这条胡同虽然很短，但“京味儿”十足，可以说是一处老北京的微缩景观。

The Shortest Hutong YICHI STREET

The shortest hutong in Beijing is to the south of Liulichang East Street, the section from the northeast junction of Tongzi Hutong to the north junction of Yingtao Hutong. It is called Yichi ("One Foot") Street. Although this hutong is short, it is longer than one foot! lt is more than 25 meters long. In early times, there were 6 businesses trading in this hutong, the three on the north side were engravers, while of the three on the south side, the middle one was a blacksmith, to the western side was a tavern and to the eastern side a barber's. Although this hutong is very short, it offers a real flavour of Beijing, in fact you could say this spot was old Beijing in miniature.
