Damao Hutong

Step into Damao Hutong and time-travel to old Beijing! This alley is a living museum of traditional courtyard houses with grey-tiled roofs, where the aroma of zhajiangmian noodles mingles with locals playing chess under sycamore trees. Don't miss the 30-year-old fermented mung bean juice stall at the entrance - its puckeringly authentic flavor will slap your taste buds awake!
