Xuanwumen Outer Street

Step onto Xuanwumen Outer Street and be transported to Old Beijing! This historic avenue dazzles with time-honored tea houses and authentic snack stalls wafting aromas of stewed offal and fried dumplings. The former Caishikou execution grounds whisper tales of imperial drama, while trendy cafes now nestle between grey-brick courtyard houses. As lanterns glow at dusk, sip traditional yogurt and trace the grooves of centuries-old flagstones - where street performers' drums still echo the heartbeat of ancient capital.
