[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Nanluogu Xiang (Updated May)

When talking about Beijing, in addition to the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, Hutong is also an important symbol representing this city. During this visit, I decided to walk into the old Beijing Hutongs to experience the alleys that carry the memories of time. Walking into Nanluoguxiang, the tiles on the roofs seem to be telling stories of the past. Compared with the high-rise buildings and fast pace of the city, life in the hutongs seems much more leisurely. However, modern elements are also incorporated into the hutongs. The old houses have been transformed into cafes, B&Bs or creative shops, attracting young people and tourists, adding a lot of vitality to this old street. In the hutongs, you can still find memories of Beijing's old days. Street stalls sell candied haws and noodles with soybean paste, and old people play chess leisurely. These scenes are full of warmth and tranquility. As the city develops, the old hutongs are gradually disappearing and many residents are moving to new residential areas. However, the hutong culture is still worth preserving and inheriting. The beauty of the hutongs lies not in their splendor, but in their historical memories and human touch. If you have the opportunity to visit Beijing, you might as well walk into the hutongs and feel the traces of the past between the bricks and tiles. Address: Yandaixie Street, Xicheng District, Beijing Transportation: Metro Line 2 "Guloudajie Station" 17 minutes walk #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#AugustDestinations2024 #100TravelWays #China #Beijing #FreeTravel #Hutong #Nanluoguxiang Of course you have to visit the hutongs when you come to Beijing. But the hutongs are actually like the narrow streets in Hong Kong. Frankly speaking, they are not very pleasant to visit, especially in Beijing in August with the scorching hot weather and the crowded alleys. It is really a bit scary. Maybe it would be more comfortable to go shopping at night?

This hutong is known as: one hutong, half of China, having housed countless social elites and celebrities. ⑥ Yangmeizhu Xiejie A treasure hutong with an authentic old Beijing atmosphere, without an overly commercialized vibe. Occasionally, you might stumble upon some hidden gem stores, perfect for leisurely exploration. Baitasi Dongjiadao Hutong The most beautiful elements of Beijing's autumn are here: blue sky, red walls, white pagodas, and pigeons flying by from time to time. Worth a visit. 8 Xizongbu Hutong On one side is the local life, on the other is the world's prosperity. The popular hutong for taking photos of the CBD trio is right here.

When visiting Beijing, where should you stay to deeply experience the charm of old Beijing? It must be Weiming Siheyuan Hotel (Beijing Nanluoguxiang Houhai Branch)! 🎉 📍【Location】 It's located at 38A Baochao Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing, positioned in the prime area for exploring old Beijing hutongs.

When visiting Beijing, you must stay in a siheyuan courtyard house, and Weiming Siheyuan Hotel is absolutely the best choice! 🥰

#Mainland Travel How can we not mention the most lively night market in Nanluoguxiang? There are many street shops selling food, souvenirs, etc. So we walked around and found that there were many shops serving roast duck and traditional hot pot, so we chose one of them. After tasting it, we also think it is one of the must-try meals in Beijing. First of all, the service is good. They will recommend and introduce the food. We didn’t even know what some of the food was, so there was more interaction and good communication. The place is clean and hygienic. The hot pot is in a copper pot, and there are two soup bases to choose from. This time we chose spicy and clear soup (red dates, cordyceps... soup), and ordered two plates of meat with local recommended vegetables. It was very delicious. You can eat it slowly as a whole. There is no time limit, and we enjoyed it for two hours. The checkout was about ￥300, worth it. After that, I also tasted the old hot pot again👍👍 To go to Nanluoguxiang, it is actually very convenient to take the subway or take a Didi taxi. #Beijing #Old Beijing Shabu Shabu

#discoverchina Nanluoguxiang is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, blending a sense of history with modern charm, making it a great travel destination. The alley is lined with traditional Beijing-style courtyards (siheyuan), along with a variety of cultural and creative shops, cafés, and local snacks—everything you could want. Strolling through Nanluoguxiang, visitors can not only feel the deep cultural heritage of old Beijing, but also experience the creativity and passion of the younger generation. It’s definitely worth a visit.

I recently traveled to Beijing and chose the Home Inn Select Hotel near Zhangzizhong Road Subway Station. The overall experience was fantastic, and I'd like to share my impressions. 📍【Location】🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The hotel's location is unbeatable. It's in the Wangfujing-Dongsi commercial district, surrounded by well-preserved hutongs, full of old Beijing charm. It's a mere 110-meter walk from Zhangzizhong Road Subway Station, served by Line 5. A short walk further reveals multiple bus routes. Whether you're going to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, or Nanluoguxiang, getting around is a breeze, offering true travel freedom! 🏠【Hotel Facilities】🌟🌟🌟🌟 As a high-end select product under the BTG Homeinns group, designed by a German design team and even an award winner, the lobby's unique decor creates an artistic atmosphere. Rooms are equipped with direct drinking water purifiers, air purifiers, comfortable bedding, and imported Canadian mineral water. The hotel also offers a free laundry room, an English snooker room, and a self-service coffee machine, providing ample opportunities for relaxation. However, the rooms are relatively compact, which might feel a bit cramped for travelers with a lot of luggage. 🧹【Cleanliness】🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Cleanliness is a major concern for me when choosing a hotel, and this one performed exceptionally well. The room was spotless, the bathroom had no odor, the towels were white and clean, and the glasses were sparkling. I felt completely at ease, and it's clear the hotel prioritizes hygiene. 💁‍♀️【Service Quality】🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 From check-in, the staff were enthusiastic and efficient, even offering recommendations for nearby attractions and restaurants. They responded quickly to any requests during my stay. For example, when I needed a charger, a robot delivered it promptly – talk about attentive and smart service! 🍱【Breakfast Experience】🌟🌟🌟 Breakfast is served from 7:00 am to 10:00 am, with a wide variety of options, including Chinese steamed buns, youtiao (fried dough sticks), porridge, Western bread and milk, and even the local specialty, zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste). The dining environment is clean, and staff clear tables promptly. However, it gets crowded during peak hours, and some food items weren't replenished quickly enough. Overall, the Home Inn Select (Beijing Nanluoguxiang Zhangzizhong Road Subway Station) is an excellent choice for travelers or business visitors to Beijing, thanks to its prime location, attentive service, and excellent cleanliness.

Start from Lama Temple and follow the walking guide to Drum Tower. The weather was unexpectedly cold, but I didn’t feel tired at all just walking, taking photos and looking around on the road. After passing through the food and shopping street, you can see the Drum Tower at the corner. Walk towards the alley and you will see the clock tower behind. There was no deliberate itinerary, I just happened to hear the drums. I found out there were performances. The first floor is a projection screen that introduces the central axis. There are some technological and interactive features. The exhibition hall is not big, so you can go to the timetable and buy a ticket to watch the film, and then go to the second-floor passage next to it to watch the drum performance. The stairs are very steep and the intervals are high, so it is quite strenuous to go up and down. Be sure to hold the handrail when going downstairs. While waiting for the show, you can also enjoy the scenery of the central axis, which is really worth the ticket price! recommend! Due to time constraints, I did not go to the clock tower. There seems to be a cafe downstairs. This time I ate Hou Wonton at the food court opposite. Warm soup is really refreshing on a cold day. . I didn’t expect to find it snowing outside after dinner! It's spring snow~~ Then I ran back to the Drum Tower and Bell Tower to take photos and check in. Later I was so excited that I forgot how I got to Shichahai. The walking distance is not far. At night, there are many bars, karaoke bars and cafes in Shichahai. After the snow stopped, I took the subway to Nanluoguxiang. I didn't take any pictures afterwards. It’s actually not far to walk. Nanluoguxiang is also a tourist area with a variety of cultural and creative souvenir shops. I don't recommend eating here. After eating, it is recommended to take a walk and do some shopping! Passing by a crowded bakery, the food was delicious. It’s a blessing to end a dreamy day!

#ChinaTravelMoment If you look around the old streets connected by hutongs and the hutongs connected by the main road, you can easily spend half a day. You can see well-preserved traditional Chinese houses. There are shops and restaurants with a mix of Eastern and Western atmospheres. Nearby is the Central Academy of Drama, which famous Chinese actors attended. BeijingDongchengQianyuan'ensi Hutong No.28 (South Luogu Lane Subway Station Northwest Entrance & Exit E

#ChinaTravelMoment When you walk around Nanluoguxiang Hutong, it's fun to see old houses. Because it's an old area, there are houses that have been renovated, but there are also places where you can tell they're traditional houses just by looking at the front door. BeijingDongchengQianyuan'ensi Hutong No.28 (South Luogu Lane Subway Station Northwest Entrance & Exit E Pedestrian 460 Meters)

#ChinaTravelMoment Nanluoguxiang is the oldest street in Beijing with a history of 740 years It is said that there are sixteen alleys called hutongs connected around the main road. The main road is centered around restaurants and shops targeting tourists, and these small hutongs felt more attractive. It is quiet and good for walking BeijingDongchengQianyuan'ensi Hutong No.28 (South Luogu Lane Subway Station Northwest Entrance & Exit E

#ChinaTravelMoment A real restaurant vibe found while walking around Nanluoguxiang Alley It's like Jianbeng, but I'm not sure if the exact name is right It's located in an alley where there don't seem to be any stores, so I think only people who know about it will come, but surprisingly, there are a lot of deliveries and people waiting in line to buy. It's a local restaurant, but it seems to have become famous through word of mouth.

#ChinaTravelMoment The small alleys on the side of Nanluoguxiang Main Road are said to be the spaces where residents live. So even if you go slightly to the side, you can feel a completely different, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere. Just by passing through this small alley, you can see old Chinese houses and feel the smell of people living there.

#ChinaTravelMoment 10 Yuan Ice Cream The good thing about traveling in China is that you don't have to worry about the price no matter what you buy. Processed foods are more expensive than regular foods, but they're still super cheap. When I turned the sign here, it said Milk Thai Tea House. Soft ice cream is 10 Yuan, which is good value for money. There are various flavors, such as durian and coconut.

#ChinaTravelMoment #BeijingTravel Nanluoguxiang Dessert Restaurant I found out about this place through a friend's pick, which is said to be a hot traditional dessert shop. I went there because they told me to try it when I was in the area. I was very satisfied. The price is less than 5,000 won, but there are many kinds and the taste is good, so I recommend you try it once if you are nearby. Even if the line is long, you can only get takeout, so the line moves faster than you think. Square cakes are much tastier than round ones. It is also close to Yonghegong. 167 Yong He Gong Da Jie
