Zhuangyuan Middle Road

Stroll down Manor Central Road where Beijing's urban oasis charm unfolds! Flanked by ginkgo trees that transform into golden tunnels in autumn, this poetic boulevard is a photographer's hidden gem. Artsy cafes and indie bookshops dot the street—grab a pour-over coffee at sidewalk seats watching old Beijing glide by on bicycles, as if time slows down. Don't miss the 30-year-old candied hawthorn stall at the corner, where crystal-glazed berries deliver the authentic taste of the capital.
