Dashilan Folk-custom Library

Step into the Folklore Library at Qianmen West River Lane Branch and be transported to old Beijing's hutong era! This hidden gem houses rare folk culture archives and vintage household artifacts, where you can even touch century-old thread-bound books and handmade paper cuttings. Don't miss the movable type printing workshop upstairs - print your own hutong map souvenir! Pro tip: Pair your visit with Qianmen Street's time-honored shops, and grab a stick of family-recipe candied hawthorns from the library's neighbor!
