[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Sanlitun (Updated May)

When visiting Beijing, experiencing the hutong culture is a must. I recently discovered an amazing courtyard hotel—the Guohuai Fangxi Courtyard Hotel (Beijing Guang'anmen Subway Station Branch)—and I just have to share it with you! 📍 Prime Location The hotel is ideally located near the Guang'anmen subway station, making it super convenient to get around. Whether you're heading to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising ceremony or exploring the trendy Sanlitun area, everything is easily accessible. There are also plenty of local Beijing delicacies nearby, like Huguosi snacks, just a short walk away. 🏠 Charming Courtyard Stepping into the hotel feels like traveling back in time to old Beijing. The courtyard is surrounded by towering Chinese scholar trees, providing shade in the summer and golden hues in the fall. The ambiance is simply perfect. Stone tables and benches are scattered around the courtyard, inviting you to relax, chat, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The rooms retain the traditional charm of the courtyard with wooden doors and windows and carved decorations, while also offering modern amenities for a comfortable and convenient stay. 🍱 Exquisite Dining The hotel's breakfast is a highlight, featuring freshly made Beijing-style Zhajiangmian noodles with rich sauce and perfectly cooked noodles. There's also a variety of delicate Chinese pastries, served with steaming hot soy milk, to start your day with energy. 💁 Exceptional Service From the attentive and patient check-in process to helpful recommendations for nearby attractions, the staff's service is top-notch. I once accidentally left something in my room, and they quickly contacted me and kept it safe. Super thoughtful! 🎈 Exploring the Neighborhood A stroll through the hutongs surrounding the hotel reveals traditional Beijing architecture and the cheerful sounds of locals. The Grand View Garden, a filming location for the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber," is also nearby—a must-visit for fans of classic literature. 🌟 The Guohuai Fangxi Courtyard Hotel offers a tranquil and charming retreat in the bustling city of Beijing. If you're planning a trip to Beijing, don't miss this unique courtyard hotel experience.

That classic American chain restaurant, Red Lobster, where people go to try lobster, but leave loving the cheddar bay biscuits, also has a few locations in China. One of them is at Taikoo Li in Beijing. Address - 三里屯路19号院三里屯太古里南区S4号楼三层S4-30单元 Ambiance/Facilities - This is a fast casual restaurant so don't expect anything fancy even though you're having lobster for dinner. That said though, the hostess was very welcoming and even gave us a free dessert after we had too wait so long for our food. Highlights - Of course you come to Red Lobster for the lobster. You can have it in all kinds of dishes. I tried a lobster pasta and a lobster bisque soup, which were both really tasty. The real Red Lobster fan, however, knows the worth of the cheddar Bay biscuits that are buttery and delicious and best of all free of charge. Avg. Price per Person - 200 rmb Rating - 3.5 stars

📍Beijing Sanlitun ELEPHANT GROUND . Elephant Ground located in Sanlitun, a hot neighborhood in Beijing. A small but sophisticated cafe with a cozy interior. The main dish is famous, and the coffee is famous, but above all, this cafe's signature is Dalgona cake. I was surprised by the larger size than I thought, and it was a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee with a sweet taste that didn't go away. . . . #InstaHotPlace #HotPlaceRestaurant #HotPlace #Cake #CakeRestaurant #CityTrip #NextTimeHere #Cafe #CafeTour #Coffee #CoffeeRestaurant #CoffeeTime #Dessert #RestaurantExploration

It’s a chain, but my favorite soy milk restaurant is “桃园眷村 Taoyuan Village.” Chinese breakfast menus vary by region and there are so many delicious ones. My favorites are 豆浆油条 thick soy milk (I prefer slightly sweet) and hot fried youtiao. You can dip the fried food in it or eat it with sauce~ It’s so filling and delicious. There are chains all over China, so I recommend you try them. #RestaurantExploration #HappyNewYear

#Overseas travel This is a place I really like It was Sanlitun in Beijing, China There were so many things to see here, but among them, the Gentle Monster pop-up store really left a deep impression on my life The Gentle Monster pop-up store was really big, and the staff was really kind, so it was really nice. It was a little more expensive than Korea, so we didn't buy anything We just tried it on, but it was really fun and nice to look at I really recommend that you guys visit at least once! And there were so many different arts that you can only see here, so it was really amazing I really recommend that you guys visit at least once. And I was able to try on a variety of glasses, and there were a lot of new products on display, so it was really nice Since Sanlitun is a hot place that's just starting to emerge, there were a lot of things to do around Gentle Monster, so it was really nice. I really recommend that you guys visit at least once.

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Starbucks on Sanlitun Street had a really unique atmosphere. The interior of the store was neat and stylish, and it had a modern feel, so it felt like a healing space in the city. While drinking coffee and looking at the lively street scenery outside, the interior was very comfortable and relaxed, so it was good for relaxing. The drinks were of excellent quality, as expected from Starbucks, and there were also special drinks that you can only find in the area, so I was able to have a different experience. It was a good atmosphere to sit leisurely and read a book or chat with a friend, and if you go up to the second floor, you can spend time leisurely in a larger space. It was a cafe that you must visit if you visit Sanlitun.

#HawaiiAirlineEvent Starbucks on Sanlitun Street was a cafe with a really sophisticated atmosphere. The surrounding area is lively with many shops and restaurants, but the inside of Starbucks was quiet and comfortable, so it was good for spending time leisurely. In particular, it is divided into two floors, so if you want more space, you can sit on the second floor. The drinks provided by Starbucks were also better than expected, and I especially enjoyed the experience of enjoying coffee with the unique atmosphere you can feel in Beijing. Not only the taste of the coffee, but the design of the store itself was very modern and cool, so it was a good place to take pictures. It was a good place to take a break after shopping, and I was really satisfied with being able to enjoy a cup of coffee while looking at the lively Sanlitun Street.

#AprilTravelSupport I wanted to really feel the local atmosphere of China, so I visited a local Beijing restaurant, and Kaoya that I found there really exceeded my expectations. The duck meat was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, wrapped in a thin pancake, and served with green onions and sauce. The rich and strong taste kept coming to mind, so I couldn't stop. The Maotai that was served with it had a unique flavor and was strong, so my stomach felt hot as soon as I took a sip. However, that strong drink washed away the greasy feeling, so it went really well together. I felt like I literally experienced the taste of Beijing with all five senses. It was a meal that left a long aftertaste.

#AprilTravelSupport I went into a restaurant lined up with locals in a Beijing alley and tasted real Kao Ya for the first time. The duck was crispy, and the thinly sliced ​​skin sounded different. I put it on a pancake, topped it with green onions, cucumbers, and hoisin sauce, rolled it up, and took a bite. I couldn't help but admire the harmony of the crispy outside and juicy meat inside. The Mao Tai I ordered together had a high alcohol content, so it burned my throat, but it went well with the oily duck dish and went down smoothly. My face turned red after drinking a glass of Mao Tai, but the mood was better, and the taste and temperature of that night are still vivid. I want to eat this combination again.

#AprilTravelSupport On the first day I arrived in Beijing, I went to find the Peking Duck that I absolutely had to eat. The crispy fried Kao Ya had a rich flavor even when I ate just the skin, and when I ate it with the tender meat, it really melted in my mouth. The combination of duck, green onion, cucumber, and sauce on top of the pancake was much more delicious and harmonious than I thought. The Mao Tai that I drank in between meals was strong but had a deep flavor, and it added a uniquely Chinese atmosphere. When I took a sip, my mouth felt numb, but the flavor lingered for a long time, perfectly cutting through the greasiness of the Kao Ya. It was a more memorable meal than a tourist attraction, and I want to go to Beijing again because of this taste.

#AprilTravelSupportAmazing Beijing Duck in Sanlitun, Beijing The Beijing duck I tasted in Sanlitun was truly unforgettable. The duck skin was crispy and the meat was juicy, and I was amazed every time I took a bite. The deep and rich flavor filled my mouth because it was duck roasted in an authentic way. The pancakes with duck meat and sauce were fantastic, and the crunchiness of the cucumbers and green onions balanced the flavors well. The restaurant atmosphere was also sophisticated and luxurious, which made it feel even more special, and the service from the staff was very friendly. The Beijing duck in Sanlitun was one of the best delicious experiences during my trip. Location Sanlitun, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China
