OUTSIDE Lingjing Hutong station on Beijing's Subway Line 4,the 664-meter-long Lingjing Hutong between Fuyoujie Street and Xidan North Street spreads out 32.18meters at its widest point.It's the widest hutong in the capital.Before an expansion in the 1980s,Lingjing was just 3 meters wide.Its history can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644),when a Taoist temple known as Lingji Palace was built there in 1471.It's said that the palace was constructed on the orders of Emperor Yongle,a man whose legend precedes him.
