Step into Xier Tiao Grain & Oil Shop and be transported to old Beijing's neighborhood life. Wooden shelves groan with stone-ground sesame oil, time-honored pickles, and heirloom grains, while the air hums with nutty aromas. This decades-old shop preserves hutongs' culinary soul – grab a bag of freshly milled chili flakes or artisan rice vinegar, and you're taking home the essence of authentic Beijing in a jar.
