Beijing Qianmen Mandarin Oriental Hotel, with its core concept of "Hutong Revival Project," has transformed ten courtyard compounds with nearly 400 years of history into contemporary art spaces. The guest rooms preserve the original Ming and Qing dynasty brick-carved gatehouses while incorporating interactive projection screens that dynamically depict street scenes from "The Annual Customs and Festivals of Peking." The two-Michelin-starred restaurant "Shi Wei" offers "Hutong Molecular Cuisine," such as fermented mung bean juice capsules paired with crispy dough foam. The underground gallery "TIAO" regularly hosts Hutong sound art exhibitions, featuring urban memory soundscapes like pigeon whistles and hawkers' calls for candied hawthorns. Guests can participate in the "Hutong Restoration Workshop," handcrafting traditional brick and tile components, which earned the hotel UNESCO's Cultural Heritage Innovation Award.

Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing's Shitiao Bar has updated its menu 📖 There are 17 new drinks in total, drawing inspiration from local hutong elements from 📍Caochang Third Alley to Caochang Tenth Alley Each one has its own personality and flavor, perfect for exploring the menu with girlfriends after work For me, after drinking, I can walk home from Shitiao without worrying about calling a car That's the joy of drinking at your home turf! . 🥃La Dolce Vita A name with strong street cred, this drink's presentation rivals the previous menu's Mercury It incorporates on-site smoke infusion, and you can even choose the fragrance - I selected cedar 🌲 The preparation process is like attending a chemistry class 🧪 When you receive the drink, it has a Yonghe Temple aroma, as if one sip could purify your body and mind The taste starts with a Negroni base but has more complexity From presentation to flavor, I absolutely love this one . I also tried ✅Jade Garden and ✅Sour Grapes, which have light, refreshing flavors with low alcohol content, suitable for those with lower tolerance The menu is designed like a map 🗺, Let's city drink 🥂
