Zhaitang Street

Stroll down Zhaitang Street in Beijing's Dongcheng District and step into a time capsule of old Peking! Gray-brick courtyards mingle with traditional snack stalls, where you must try the freshly-made candied hawthorns or glutinous rice rolls - authentic flavors that'll dance on your taste buds. This street is also a goldmine for hidden creative boutiques showcasing unique handicrafts. When lanterns glow at dusk, the entire lane transforms into a nostalgic dreamscape.
