798 was far less famous than now when I went there in 2005 spring. The taxi driver even didn't know its location. Now it becomes a major attraction.
Hutong is not easy to find in the heart of Beijing city nowadays. The 4th picture looks like the street leading to Houhai. I had a drink there twice with 2 groups of boring people (LOL).
I ran into the hutong while I was strolling around near the Clock Tower (gulou) but the cab driver didn't know how to get there. That's quite ironic. So I spent quite some time walking through the rabbit warrens of the hutongs.
Found a bar with live jazz near Houhai, called East Shore Jazz. It was quite nice.
Will there be birds at the "Bird Nest" 
People at 798? 
Will people visit Jian Wai Soho?
Or take a stroll along the old Hutongs?
