Dashilan is located in Xicheng District, Beijing, south of Tiananmen Square and west of Qianmen Street. Dashilan has a history of more than 500 years. After continuous development, it has now become a commercial street with many shops.

Dazhalan Jie or Dashilan is a real tourist street though very picturesque in parts. You enter the street from Qien Men and the first thing we saw was the old trolley bus and typical Chinese buildings. There are some enticing cake and sweet shops but beware of the 'hard sell' in some of the shops, especially the Tea Houses. However, the real gem is that this street takes you into the streets of Old Beijing and the Hutongs. You don't need a rickshaw as it's best just to wander off the beaten tourist track to explore the Hutongs and experience real Beijing life. There are tiny shops, local dwellings and hostels. We found one hostel in one of the old courtyard houses, which have now virtually disappeared. We also found Alice's Tea House and spent a delightful half hour having tea and listening to Alice's stories. It was a much nicer experience than the 'hard sell' of the Tea Houses on Dashilan! She can be found on TieShu Xie Jie, where she also offers cooking classes and arranges tours. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #oldarchitecture

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 On the first day of arriving in Beijing, excitement and anticipation were intertwined in my heart. Stepping into this historic land, the journey begins with delicious food, followed by an encounter with a modern shopping mall. Quanjude Roast Duck: The first experience of authentic Beijing flavor As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I decided in my heart that I wanted to try Beijing’s most representative delicacy - roast duck. The Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in Qianmen is an ideal choice. When you walk into the restaurant, the old shop exudes a strong traditional atmosphere. Every waiter was dressed in classical costume, as if time had slowed down in this ancient city. After sitting down, almost everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on the roast duck in front of them. The golden duck skin is grilled over charcoal, with crispy skin, tender meat and just the right amount of fat. With just one bite, the tenderness of the duck meat and the slightly charred skin, paired with the sweet noodle sauce and chopped green onions, instantly made my tongue feel satisfied. Every bite is a tribute to traditional craftsmanship, as if you are not only enjoying delicious food, but also savoring the culture and history of Beijing. Beijing Tianjie Shopping Mall: The prosperity and comfort of urban shopping After a sumptuous roast duck, our next stop was Beijing Tianjie Shopping Mall. This is a modern shopping mall that combines shopping, dining and entertainment. As soon as I walked into the mall, the dazzling array of goods and modern designs made me immediately feel the vitality and fashion of this city. Whether it is a world-class luxury brand or a popular fashion design, you can find it here. Just strolling around and relaxing, I couldn't help but feel the modernization and prosperity of Beijing. The mall is bustling with people, but it doesn't seem crowded. Every corner is filled with the atmosphere of high-end brands and fashion trends. Whether trying out some new fashion items or chatting with friends about life in a cafe, it is a relaxing experience. The city's pace is fast and orderly, as if telling me that Beijing is a place where the ancient and the modern are intertwined. On this day, I experienced both tradition and modernity of Beijing, tasted delicious food and went shopping, and felt the many faces of this city. The first day’s journey was both a nourishment of delicious food and a relaxation of the soul, as if it had started an unforgettable trip to Beijing.

Long-term sleep disorders have caused me to always sleep half as much as others Instead of worrying about why you don’t sleep enough, it’s better to do more meaningful things when you are awake. - Go feel life, feel spring 🌱 So at 7 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the Beijing Workers' Cultural Palace next to the Forbidden City. 2 yuan ticket, no reservation required early in the morning Locate the ticket office of the Cultural Palace 📍You will pass by the moat of the Forbidden City There are green willow trees along the way. It is the season of spring flowers blooming. There are a large number of ancient trees in the park, and the magnolias are also blooming beautifully🌸 There are basically no tourists at this time, and you can secretly watch the soldiers training. - You can enter the Temple of Heaven at 9 o'clock for a visit, 15r, it's worth it 🏯The Imperial Ancestral Temple was the place for ancestor worship during the Ming and Qing dynasties It sounds scary to say But the feeling when you walk in is very quiet and comfortable The main hall is dedicated to the emperor's ancestors. - 🛕There are side halls on the east and west sides, where princes and ministers are enshrined. The so-called "enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple" means that after death, one will be enshrined in the side halls on the east and west sides, which means there will be endless incense. - 🪵68 pillars supporting the main hall They are all whole pieces of golden nanmu wood, and they are all thousand-year-old ancient wood. There is a folk legend that one piece is worth 2.8 billion yuan. 🧱The gold bricks under your feet are actually the homonym of Beijing bricks. Legend has it that the production process is complicated and the transportation cost is high. They are bricks specially supplied to the royal family in the Forbidden City in Beijing. When you knock them, they make a sound of gold and stone. - 🚴‍♀️After the visit, you can ride a bicycle to Dashilan to have breakfast before going to work. After 10 o'clock, there is already a long queue in front of the Temple of Heaven. You need a mainland China ID card and a bag to go through security check to enter the park. It is recommended that you prepare in advance. - 📺 If you want to know more about the Temple of Heaven I recommend CCTV's "If Ancient Buildings Could Talk" "The Thousand Years of Family and Country" and "The Storms of Taimiao", which contain popular science about ancestral temple architecture, and can help you better understand the ancient sacrificial culture, such as why sacrificial vessels were made in that shape, how to tell the level of a building through the roof, how brackets are divided into levels, etc. -

From Zhushikou to Chongwenmen, unlock the romance of hutongs and history: This route encapsulates Beijing's vibrant street life, artistic atmosphere, and rich history. Strolling along it in spring, every step is a deep conversation with this city. Route: Zhushikou Subway Station Exit A → Qianmen Street → Dashilan → Yingtao Xie Street → Yangmeizhu Xie Street → Beijing Fun → Qianmen → Xianyu Kou Street → Sanlihe Park → Dongjiaomin Lane → Chongwenmen Subway Station Starting Point: Zhushikou Subway Station Exit A Zhushikou, located at the southern end of Beijing's central axis, was once the intersection of old Beijing's commercial and street life. Starting from here, the spring sunlight filters through the old locust trees in the hutongs, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of tranquil charm to the journey. First Stop: Qianmen Street: Traversing the Century-Old Commercial Pulse As a landmark street on Beijing's central axis, Qianmen Street retains the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Between the grey bricks and tiles stand time-honored brands such as Quanjude and Ruifuxiang. In spring, the fresh green willow branches and the jingling of the retro trams interweave, as if recreating the street scene of "Qianmen's Sentiments and Large Bowls of Tea." The unique feature of Qianmen Street is that you can experience the retro trams, traveling through the historic district as if time were flowing backward. You can also explore time-honored brands, experiencing the aroma of traditional Chinese medicine at Tongrentang and the craftsmanship of cloth shoes at Neiliansheng, where tradition and modernity blend. Second Stop: Dashilan: A Living Museum of Time-Honored Brands Adjacent to Qianmen, Dashilan (pronounced "Da Shi Lan'r" by Beijingers) is the best-preserved traditional commercial street in Beijing. On a spring afternoon, the sun shines obliquely on the silks of Ruifuxiang, the fragrance of tea from Zhangyiyuan spills from the doorways, and the crosstalk at Deyunshe fills the hutongs with laughter. At the Yangliuqing Woodblock New Year Pictures shop, you can create your own woodblock prints and experience the spirit of craftsmanship. Try the candied hawthorns and donkey rolling (glutinous rice rolls coated in soybean flour) on the street for the sweetest taste of spring. Third Stop: Yingtao Xie Street and Yangmeizhu Xie Street: Artistic Enclaves in Hutongs Turn west from Dashilan into Yingtao Xie Street, where low-rise courtyard houses line the bluestone-paved road, occasionally adorned with climbing vines and spring crabapple blossoms peeking out from the courtyards. Continue north to Yangmeizhu Xie Street, once a gathering place for Republican-era literati, now dotted with independent bookstores, cafes, and design studios. It's recommended to browse ancient books at Model Bookstore or enjoy a panoramic view of the hutongs from the terrace of Soloist Coffee. Shen Congwen and Lu Xun once resided here, their past glory recorded on plaques on the walls. The artistic shops and craft workshops along the road are perfect for finding unique spring souvenirs. Fourth Stop: Beijing Fun: A Collision of Tradition and Avant-Garde Art Adjacent to Qianmen, Beijing Fun is based on Republican-era architecture and incorporates modern art spaces. On a spring evening, ascend to the viewing terrace of PageOne bookstore for a distant view of the silhouettes of Zhengyangmen Gate Tower and the corner towers of the Forbidden City. The MUJI Hotel and Starbucks Reserve Roastery here have also become popular check-in spots with their unique designs. The architecture here blends Chinese and Western styles, and the evening light show complements the historic buildings, making it a great place to visit at night. Fifth Stop: Xianyu Kou Street: A Culinary Journey Through Old Beijing Pass through Qianmen's arrow tower and enter Xianyu Kou, renowned for its cuisine. In spring, the aroma of Tianxingju's fried liver with steamed buns and Bianyifang's roast duck fills the air, while the awowo (steamed glutinous rice cakes) and wandouhuang (pea flour cakes) from Jinfang Snacks offer a seasonal freshness. The secret recipe for the sesame sauce at Baodu Feng is an intangible cultural heritage delicacy. Experience the century-old culinary skills. Here, open-air stalls and time-honored brands coexist, with diners gathered around wooden tables, creating a lively atmosphere. Sixth Stop: Sanlihe Park: A Jiangnan Water Town Hidden Deep in the Hutongs Sanlihe Park, east of Xianyu Kou, is a "Little Jiangnan" hidden in the bustling city. In spring, peach blossoms line the banks, koi swim in the clear river, and wooden walkways wind through reed beds, occasionally with wild ducks skimming the water surface. The Spring Breeze bookstore, nestled in a small grey-brick courtyard, offers a peaceful respite. The cafes along the river often host folk music performances, perfectly blending art and nature. Keep an eye out if you're interested. Seventh Stop: Dongjiaomin Lane: European Architecture and Historical Echoes Walk north from Sanlihe to Dongjiaomin Lane, Beijing's longest embassy street, lined with Gothic churches and Baroque bank ruins. In spring, wisteria climbs the red brick walls of the French Post Office, and the stained glass of St. Michael's Church shimmers in the sunlight. It's recommended to take photos in front of the Supreme People's Court of China Museum, where the Gothic spire frames the cherry blossoms, creating a unique scene. The arches of the former Belgian Embassy and the carved pillars of the former Yokohama Specie Bank bear witness to the past. The Dongjiaomin Lane History Exhibition Hall at the corner also features exhibitions of old photographs.
