Yandai Diagonal Street

Step into Yandai Xiejie Specialty Street and you'll feel like entering a time tunnel of old Beijing! This cobblestone alley is packed with surprises—century-old shops selling snuff bottles, artisans crafting paper-cut artworks on the spot, and stalls wafting the caramel aroma of candied hawthorns. Don't miss chilling at the retro post office café, sipping from enamel mugs as sunlight filters through carved wooden windows—this is the true essence of Beijing's slow living.
