金丝套

Jinsitao

金丝套是指北京什刹海的前海北沿、后海南沿、前海西街与柳荫街之间的区域。区域内有18条蜿蜒曲折又互通的胡同，是什刹海海景区老北京风貌保存最完好的地区之一，淳朴的民风透露着十足的京味儿。
如今的北京城，放眼望去，一片片高楼拔地而起，一座座立交桥盘旋空中，每到夜晚，立交桥上通明的灯火与如潮的车流发出的灯光交相辉映，十分耀眼。

Jinsitao refers to the area between Qianhai Beiyan, Houhai Nanyan, Qianhai West Street and Liuyin Street in Shichahai, Beijing. With 18 zigzag hutongs that are linked with each other, Jinsitao is one of the areas with the best preserved features of old Beijing in Shichahai Area, where the simple, honest and unspoiled folkways reveal the typical characteristics of the old Beijing.
Today in Beijing, groups of skyscrapers stand tall and erect; and many flyovers form interwoven spirals in the skies. In the evening, the brightly illuminated flyovers and endless vehicle streams add radiance and beauty with each other, presenting a fascinating scene.
