南锣鼓巷简介
南锣鼓巷位于北京市东城区，是北京最古老的街区之一，有着北京保护最完整的四合院区。南锣鼓巷南北走向，长约800米，东西各有8条胡同整齐排列。凭借较为完好的元代里坊格局、明清名人府邸，南锣鼓巷在胡同拆迁中得以幸存。近几年又有先见之明的人看到商机，租下沿街民房，开起了风格百变的个性店铺，元朝古巷新旧混血，就此重生，全球游客都爱来此“迷失北京”。南锣鼓巷还是一条酒吧街，与三里屯、后海不同，南锣鼓巷的酒吧大多比较安静，和谐、自然、身居闹市却远离闹市的喧嚣，更贴近于生活。南锣鼓巷东西各有8条胡同整齐排列着， 呈“鱼骨状”，又如同一条“蜈蚣”。因此，南锣鼓巷也 称为“蜈蚣巷”。从南向北，西面的8条胡同是福祥胡同、蓑衣胡同、雨儿胡同、帽儿胡同、景阳胡同、沙井胡同、黑芝麻胡同、前鼓楼苑胡同；东边的8条胡同是炒豆胡同、板厂胡同、东棉花胡同、北兵马司胡同、秦老胡同、前圆恩寺胡同、后圆恩寺胡同、菊儿胡同。这些胡同在元朝时没有名称，名称是明朝以后逐渐演变来的。
