I believe you are referring to the shikumen.
No, it is some word that is similar to English - tall-something.

And the hutongs are higher than those in Beijing.

All said and done, the 'real' China in all these glitzy cities is what is so endearing and great.

Even in Hong Kong the small teahouses are what transports you in a different and serene world, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life!

Time stands still.

And you savour and enjoy every moment of it!
