🏮前门大街 Qianmen Street – Where Old Beijing Meets New Vibes

Strolling down 前门大街 feels like flipping through the pages of an old Beijing storybook — but with a modern twist. 🚶♀️🛍️

This iconic pedestrian street south of Tiananmen Square is lined with century-old shops, refurbished trams, and a mix of traditional architecture and modern brands. You’ll find everything from time-honored Chinese teahouses and pharmacies (like 同仁堂) to flagship stores for brands like Starbucks and Shake Shack — all styled with vintage Beijing charm.

🌟What to explore:
• Ride the retro-style Dangdang tram for a quick tour
• Snap photos with Qianmen Gate (正阳门) at sunset
• Try snacks at 全聚德, or sip tea at one of the quiet upstairs cafes
• Wander into Dashilan (大栅栏) alleyways nearby — even more historic vibes!

📸 Whether you’re into architecture, shopping, food, or just people-watching, Qianmen’s mix of history and revival is captivating both day and night.
