Beijing Photo Walks
Real Beijing, One Walk at a Time
Welcome to Beijing Photo Walks, part of my ongoing Ruqin Photo Walks series.
I’m Ruqin, based in Beijing. I regularly explore the city on foot, from famous landmarks and historic hutongs to quiet neighborhoods and overlooked corners that many visitors never see.
These walks are based on places I have personally visited and photographed. Along the way, I share practical route notes, photo spots, seasonal observations, and small details that help reveal what Beijing is really like today.
Beijing is constantly changing. Streets are renovated, shops come and go, and neighborhoods evolve over time. By returning to the same places again and again, I document those changes through regular walks across the city.
Some walks feature well-known sights. Others explore lesser-known areas beyond the typical tourist routes. Together, they form a growing collection of real-world Beijing, seen through my own footsteps and camera.
