Tucked away in Beijing's Fangshan District, Nanguan Intersection is a gateway to authentic local life. Follow the aroma of ludagun (glutinous rice rolls) to hole-in-the-wall eateries, where vendors dish out steaming jiangrou baozi (sauce-soaked buns). At dusk, join residents chatting in melodic Beijing dialect – this unassuming crossroads captures the soul of old Beijing.
