[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Yangmeizhu Byway (Updated Apr)

I recently stayed at the Qianmen Shan Hotel, tucked away in a hutong during my trip to Beijing. The experience was exceptional, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. 🌟【Exceptional Service, A Warm Welcome】 From the moment I checked in, I could feel the hotel's attentiveness. The staff were all smiles, enthusiastically assisting me with the procedures, and even thoughtfully introducing nearby attractions and restaurants. They added me on WeChat for easy communication. Upon entering my room, I was greeted with a welcome fruit platter and a handwritten card with heartfelt wishes, instantly dispelling any travel fatigue. During my stay, I accidentally stained my clothes, and the staff promptly helped me arrange laundry services, even expediting the process so I could get my clean clothes back that evening. The service was incredibly thoughtful. 📍【Prime Location, Hassle-Free Travel】 The hotel is located at 10 Beihoushan Hutong, Xicheng District, a truly impeccable location. It's only a ten-minute walk from Security Check 7 at Tiananmen Square, and the National Museum, Great Hall of the People, and the Forbidden City are also very close. There are plenty of dining options nearby, with the Qianmen Dashilan pedestrian street just a three-minute walk away. The adjacent Yangmeizhu Xiejie is also great for strolling, filled with coffee shops and unique boutiques. Getting around is easy, whether by taxi, car, or subway, so there's no need to worry about transportation. 🏠【Aesthetic Space, Comfortable Experience】 Stepping into the hotel feels like entering an art space. The lobby's paintings and artwork are unique, blending Eastern and Western styles while complementing the hutong atmosphere. The room design is tasteful, with smart toilets, Hansgrohe showers, and Panasonic appliances, all showcasing quality. Guests can also enjoy Guanxia toiletries. The bedding is soft and comfortable, the bathroom facilities are complete, and the window offers a view overlooking the hutong. You can experience the hustle and bustle of the hutong during the day and enjoy the tranquility at night. It's incredibly relaxing. 🍱【Delicious Breakfast, A Vibrant Start】 Breakfast is served as a set meal with a balanced nutritional mix. There are Chinese options like steamed buns and porridge, Western options like bread and milk, and delicate side dishes. The unlimited coffee refills are a blessing for busy travelers. The dining environment is cozy, setting the stage for a wonderful day. The Qianmen Shan Hotel in Beijing exceeded my expectations in terms of service, location, and facilities. I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip to Beijing!

Yesterday, I visited the Zhengyang Bridge Ruins. I didn't want to take the subway from the crowded Qianmen Station, so I continued to wander through the streets and alleys to experience the New Year in Beijing. I walked west to Beijing Fun and saw the giant peony flower ball suspended in mid-air. It looked beautiful even without the lights on. I continued west along Beijing Fun and found that the old buildings with a mix of Chinese and Western styles had a unique beauty. In addition to the giant peony flower ball, there were rows of colorful lanterns, a giant statue of the Monkey King, and more. They were all beautiful. I continued west across the street and walked into Yangmeizhu Xiejie. The large red and purple lanterns at the entrance of the hutong were festive. The last time I came here was in the summer to buy a clay rabbit from an intangible cultural heritage inheritor. This time, the entrance of the clay rabbit shop was bustling with people holding up their phones to take pictures of the roof. It turned out that two fat cats squatting under the eaves attracted everyone's attention. I didn't expect so many tourists in the hutong. Red lanterns and flags were hung high everywhere, and Spring Festival couplets and the character "Fu" were pasted on the doors. It was very lively. I planned to leave Yangmeizhu Xiejie and quickly walk to the subway station, but I forgot that Liulichang East Street was next. I entered the area of the Changdian Temple Fair, and there were even more people. I was surprised to see that the Huoshen Temple in Liulichang was open. I had passed by many times when I was studying nearby, but I had never seen it open. I didn't expect it to be open now. I went in and walked around. There were food stalls and game stalls for the temple fair. I slowly walked west with the crowd. As it got darker, I saw the colorful lights on the trees start to light up. The colorful fish lanterns were beautiful, attracting tourists to stop and take pictures. Liulichang was usually more scholarly, but when the temple fair opened, it was full of life. With the colorful lights, it was a different scene. Near the China Bookstore, several groups of snake lanterns were very cute. It was nice to catch the tail end of the temple fair during the Spring Festival holiday and experience the festive atmosphere.

I was so happy 🥳. 📍First stop: Beijing Fun First take a stroll to Beijing Wang 👣, and have a hot, bubbling, fragrant Sukiyaki pot 🥘 here to instantly dispel the winter chill. After eating, we went up to the rooftop observation deck. Wow, the view was so broad. Tiananmen Square, the Great Hall of the People, Zhengyangmen, and the Arrow Tower were all in sight. The magnificent scene was amazing. Take a stroll around Beijing Wang, where you will find art installations with a strong flavor of the New Year everywhere 🎨, as well as various specialty shops.

The first picture was taken in a super cute shop on Yangmeizhuxie Street. , doesn’t it feel great? Come and follow my footsteps to take photos and check in!

Due to historical changes, the hutongs in Beijing have different characteristics. Qianmen Dashilan is full of time-honored Chinese brands, bustling and prosperous, with a strong commercial atmosphere. Yangmeizhu Xiejie, which is also in the Dashilan area, is a fresh and artistic street. It was once a gathering place for bookstores in the Republic of China, a street of publishing houses, with 7 bookstores including Global Bookstore, Dazhong Bookstore, and Zhonghua Book Company. Although the bookstores are no longer there, the scholarly atmosphere of Yangmeizhu Xiejie is still clear.

Oct 19, 2024: Xicheng City Walk, Yangmeizhu Xiejie Street Oct 19, 2024: Xicheng City Walk, Tieshu Xiejie Street to Yangmeizhu Xiejie Street Yangmeizhu Xiejie Street and the nearby Tieshu Xiejie Street (formerly known as Li Tiegui Xiejie Street), Yingtao Xiejie Street, and Zongshu Xiejie Street (formerly known as Wang Guangfu Xiejie Street) were all formed by people walking on them. After the Yuan Dynasty defeated the Jin Dynasty, the Yuan government abandoned the Jin Zhongdu City and built the Yuan Dadu City to the northeast of the Jin Zhongdu City. The Dingzi Street (located near the present-day Caishikou) inside the Shiren Gate of the Jin Zhongdu City (located on the west side of the present-day Hufang Bridge) was a bustling market. The commerce in the newly built Yuan Dadu City had not yet developed, so many people in the Dadu City went to the Zhongdu City to buy what they needed. From the Licheng Gate (the present-day Zhengyang Gate) of the Dadu City to the southwest to Dingzi Street, a road gradually formed from the northeast to the southwest, which is the origin of these slanted streets. The Ming Dynasty's "Jingshi Wucheng Fangxiang Hutong Ji" records "Yangmeizhu Xiejie Street." Legend has it that this street was originally a large ditch, which was gradually covered with houses and named Xiejie Street. The Qing Dynasty's "Guangxu Shuntianfu Zhi" also refers to it as "Yangmeizhu Xiejie Street." During the Republic of China period, Yangmeizhu Xiejie Street was a famous street of bookstores, with seven well-known bookstores such as the World Bookstore opening here. It was also a street of culture and books, with guild halls, celebrity residences, and ticket offices, where famous people such as Liang Shizheng, Lu Xun, and Shen Congwen gathered, leaving their footprints in many buildings. Autumn is here! Take a walk in these old hutongs, feel the historical and cultural atmosphere, and experience the hustle and bustle of life!

|Yangmeizhuxiexiang is worth a visit. 📍: Yangmeizhuxiang Lane Dongcheng District. Qianmen Dashilan Business District 🚇: Line 2️⃣ Hepingmen 🔆 This is a popular hutong for literary youths from ancient times to the present. I heard that Lu Xun also often visited this hutong. The hutongs have a strong atmosphere of life, and many doors have signs saying "No entry allowed" (We also urge everyone to travel quietly and not disturb local residents) The atmosphere of literature and art is also very strong, with cafes, cultural and creative products, and grocery stores. 🔆 Check-in points in the picture: soloist solo company No. 39 Yangmeizhuxie Street✅ The first floor is industrial style, the second floor is retro style, it looks good no matter how you shoot it As for the coffee desserts, they look good in photos, but I think the taste is just so-so, hahahaha 🔆 Opposite is [Qiankun Space] Don’t look too good here! ! !

✅ Finally, on this early summer afternoon, I stepped into the mysterious little shop in the hutong that I had heard about: Qiankun Space.

There are fridge magnets that you definitely won't find in the cultural and creative stores at tourist spots, with unique designs and distinctive styles; there are also porcelain tiles of the same style as those used by Emperor Qianlong, each one seemingly carrying the traces of history. What captivated me the most were the ceramic coasters with blue and white porcelain texture, the delicate patterns as if condensing thousands of years of stories into this tiny space. 🏺 🎨 This is not just a cultural and creative store, but also a bridge connecting the public with cultural relics. In addition to a dazzling array of cultural and creative products, the store also regularly holds intangible cultural heritage workshops, ceramic restoration, and other cultural activities, allowing everyone who enters to deeply feel the rich cultural atmosphere. 🌉 💌 Let me take you on a tour of the cultural and creative peripherals in the store: 1️⃣ Postcards: Exquisite official uniform patterns, ancient maps of Beijing, and illustrations depicting the culture of Beijing, each filled with a sense of story. 2️⃣ Silk Scarves: Themed with official uniform patterns, delicate textures, elegant colors, 150 yuan, you deserve to own one! 3️⃣ Fridge Magnets: Modern acrylic material, magnetic, and those vividly shaped ridge beasts, priced between 30-50 yuan, are an excellent choice for home decoration. 4️⃣ Ancient Coins: Ancient coins + silver wire inlay, meaningful and unique, 99 yuan, as if you could own a thousand years of history. 5️⃣ Tea Towels: Themed with official uniform patterns and the map of Beijing, 100 yuan, adding a touch of elegance to your tea table. 🛍️ Of course, there are also canvas bags, ornaments, stickers, coasters, and various other products, everything you could want, and there's always something that will make your heart skip a beat! 💖 🌟 Stepping into Qiankun Space is like entering a world full of stories.

Yangmeizhu Xiejie. That evening, I went there alone, my mind full of the phrase 'Before sunset, wave goodbye, say he didn't wait too long', as if the purpose of coming here was to wait for this sunset. Besides, this street also has VOYAGE COFFEE (Yangmeizhu branch), so this citywalk seems more like a short voyage. The cities, books, and people we like have some similarities. They all make us willingly lose ourselves and linger, without rushing to find an exit. There is a word in French, 'se perdre', which cleverly expresses this feeling. With 'se', it implies a kind of willing. It's a voluntary loss and fall, dusk is approaching, you suddenly want to walk aimlessly along this road, the shops along the street light up colorful lights in the shrinking air, and the end is the gorgeous sunset.

Beijing's hutongs are my favorite. I like two time points: National Day and Spring Festival. The red flag of National Day and the lanterns of Spring Festival Slow down and take a walk in the alleys A cost-saving, festive and pleasant micro-vacation 🎲Recommend a route that I like very much recently ① From Shaanxi Lane, the core area of ​​the "Eight Great Hutongs" ② Go to the peaceful Tieshuxie Street ③Go to Cherry Street with a park in the middle of the street ④ And the shortest alley, the 1-foot street ⑤The first cultural street in Beijing - Liulichang East Street ⑥ Then walk to Yangmeizhu, which has both hutong texture and full of tonality. ⑦ Then go to Chaer Hutong and Sanjing Hutong on the north side of Yangmeizhu ⑧Finally, I chose Beijing Wang 4F to watch the sunset, perfect 1️⃣Shaanxi Lane Shanglin Inn was once the place where Xiao Fengxian and Sai Jinhua were listed, and its interior has the well-preserved structure of a high-class brothel. No. 52 was once Xiao Fengxian’s residence, Yunjiban. 2️⃣ Tieshu Xiejie Compared with the commercial atmosphere of Dashilan next door, this place feels like a pure land. Wudao Temple, No. 93 Museum, Mei Lanfang's ancestral home, future post office, Neiguan Book Hall... full of stories 3️⃣ Cherry Alley There are not too many highlights but it has a hutong flavor. However, the Baihua Garden on this street is one of the few parks in the hutong in the neighborhood. 4️⃣One Foot Street The shortest hutong in Beijing is Chidajie Hutong, which connects Yangmeizhuxie Street and Liulichang East Street. • 5️⃣ Liulichang Ancient Culture Street Known as the "No. 1 Cultural Street in Beijing", Rongbaozhai, Daiyuexuan, Yidege, Red Star Xuan Paper, China Bookstore... 6️⃣ Yangmeizhuxie Street Dongshengping Hotel, Liang Shizheng's former residence, Suzuki Canteen, Model Bookstore, and Hutong Café with tiles on the roof. • 7️⃣Chaer Hutong and Sanjing Hutong Don’t go out after visiting Yangmeizhu. Continue through the alley to the north hutong. You can visit Chaer, Sanjing, or Qudeng. This area is very clean and has a strong hutong atmosphere with few people! 8️⃣Beijing Fun If you don’t visit Beijing Wang, you must make this your end point to overlook the Beijing hutongs and see the city life from a different perspective. I recommend this as an empty terrace that overlooks the hutong, where you can watch the perfect sunset and the Beijing landmark after the lights are on, Beijing Wang W4 Building, 4F. • 🔜During the last two days of the short holiday, you can arrange half a day to go shopping.

Beijing Net Hongwenyi Hutong - Yangmeizhu Xiejie Location: Yangmeizhu Xiejie, Xicheng District, Beijing Yangmeizhu Xiejie, northwest of Dashilan, northeast and southwest, is an ancient name The cultural street dongqi coal market street, west to Yanshou Street, the length of less than 500 meters, the oblique Yangmeizhu oblique street was only called "slanting street" in the Ming Dynasty Yangmeizhu The slanting street is a way for people to come out. It has experienced the ups and downs of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China Now there are all kinds of cultural and creative shops gathered here, delicious, fun, and good to go. The literary fan is still immersed in the bones street has timeout annual cafe, model bookstore, there are also old Beijing rabbit children store. The culture is very strong. Now there are not only some creative shops and restaurants that Wenqing likes, but also the scenes of Hutong residents standing in the streets and chatting or sunbathing.
