Step into Laoxitai Crossing and be transported to old Beijing's golden era! This living relic of opera culture once echoed with Peking Opera masters' performances in nearby teahouses - you can almost hear the gongs in the weathered bricks. Don't miss impromptu folk performances on weekends when suona horns ignite the block's energy! Grab candied hawberries as you explore, and follow the aroma to legendary tripe stew shops around the corner.
