Everything you need to know about Andingmen Station - Exit A

Beijing Hotel is a top choice, located just a 5-minute walk from Dian'anmen Metro Station Exit A.

Exit Dian'anmen Metro Station A and walk west along Dong Erhuan Road for about 10 minutes to reach Gulou. Along the way, you’ll pass remnants of the old city wall, offering glimpses into Qing Dynasty architecture. Walking is highly recommended to immerse yourself in the hutong culture and explore nearby attractions like the Zhonglou and Ming Dynasty History Exhibition Hall. For those with luggage, electric tricycles are available outside the station for around ¥15, taking about 8 minutes. The area features multilingual signage and photo spots, making it a perfect starting point for experiencing authentic Beijing life.

Try a hutong bike tour combined with tea tasting: rent a bicycle near Dian'anmen and ride slowly along North Second Ring Road, passing through historic alleys. Stop at a courtyard café for hand-brewed jasmine tea. Another unique experience is a traditional paper-cutting workshop at the "Old Beijing Paper Art Studio" in Nanluoguxiang, where master artisans teach you to create zodiac-themed designs. You can take your artwork home as a souvenir. Additionally, every Saturday night features a hutong night market, offering local snacks like fried soybean paste noodles and candied hawthorns, providing an authentic taste of Beijing’s street culture.

Ramada Beijing is ideal for families, located just steps from Dian'anmen Metro Station.

Beijing Quanjude Hotel (An Ding Men Branch) is a top choice just a 3-minute walk from Exit A of An Ding Men Metro Station.
