Hidden Cafe in a 750-Year-Old Beijing Hutong

This charming little cafe is tucked away in the historic Dongsi 3rd Alley, one of Beijing’s iconic hutongs dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. You’ll have to slip through a narrow passage before you’ll see the entrance, giving a major hidden oasis vibes. The space blends wabi-sabi minimalism with classic Beijing hutong charm. Think of lime brick walls, wooden beams, vintage apothecary drawers, even a small rooftop terrace. It the kind of place that makes you want to enjoy the slow afternoon with a cup of coffee, and let the world wait a little. 📍SHASHA · Hutong Hideout (沙沙冷萃园·胡同小驻) Address: No.16 Dongsi 3rd Alley, Beijing, China 东四三条16号 Nearest Subway: Dongsi Station (Line 5), Exit B, around 5-min walk #discoverchina #thingstodo
