Bei'anli

Step into Bei'anli where old Beijing comes alive! Crisscrossing hutongs with grey-brick walls and courtyard houses create a timeless backdrop, while locals play chess under sycamore trees. Follow the aroma of zhajiang noodles and fermented bean juice to hidden food stalls, or discover handicraft workshops tucked between alleys. It's the perfect spot to slow down and capture the city's unfiltered heartbeat.
