Stroll down Xiaobei Road to soak up authentic Beijing vibes! This historic alley bursts with surprises – street food stalls wafting the pungent aroma of fermented bean juice, century-old courtyard houses with grey bricks whispering stories, and locals playing chess under parasol trees. Don't miss trying lüdagunr (glutinous rice rolls) and tanghuoshao (sugar-fired cakes) for a true taste of Beijing's soul.
