Shenlu Street No.39

No.39 Courtyard on Shenlu Street is a well-preserved traditional siheyuan (quadrangular courtyard) complex in Beijing's Chaoyang District. Featuring grey-brick walls and exquisitely carved gatehouses, it exemplifies Ming-Qing era northern Chinese residential architecture. The axially symmetrical layout with ancient trees in its courtyards creates a serene ambiance. As a rare intact historical block surviving Beijing's urban renewal, it embodies the evolution of hutong culture. Now a hotspot for experiencing old Beijing lifestyle, visitors can also savor local snacks like luzhu huoshao (stewed pork offal with baked wheat cake) and douzhir (fermented mung bean juice) nearby.
