[2025 Beijing Stay] Travel Guide for Refactoring · Chaodongli Humanistic Hotel (Beijing Wangfujing Branch) (Updated Jun)

🎨🎨🎨 Every time traveling with kids, figuring out how to eat, sleep, and stay comfortably feels like a "century-old puzzle." Mom wants to explore Wangfujing, the Forbidden City, and the National Art Museum, so the hotel must be close to attractions—ideally right at their doorstep! The little one wants to experience Beijing's hutong culture, and of course, there's naptime, milk, and diaper changes… One misstep, and vacation turns into "survival mode"! ... Last time, and the time before that, we'd barely started exploring when it was already time to head back. If there happened to be a diaper emergency… or hunger pangs… Well, back to the hotel! This time, we stayed at— Chaodongli Boutique Hotel, nestled at the foot of the Imperial City, east of the Forbidden City, hidden in the heart of downtown, where we instantly rediscovered that "vacation relaxation" vibe! ① Kid-Friendly 🍄 Low-Height Furniture The beds, tables, and chairs are all extra low, perfect for a 1.5-year-old to climb on and off independently. Our little one jumped and played happily on the bed. The room also has a full tatami area— just move the table aside, and voilà, a giant play space for tiny humans! Napping here is pretty great too. ② Location-Friendly 🍄 Close to Everything! The hotel’s location is fantastic, with Dongsi Subway Station just 100 meters away. The Forbidden City, Qianmen, Wangfujing… are all just a 20-minute drive, making it ideal for family trips. Whether you want to explore local nature or dive into urban culture, this is the perfect starting point. On hot summer days, when the little one gets tired or cranky, you can easily return for a break, nap, and head out refreshed! ③ Service-Friendly 🍄 The hotel provides dedicated children’s toiletries, even the nightlight is soft and gentle on the eyes. The sink is spacious, making handwashing easy, and the staff are incredibly warm— helping with luggage at check-in and even gifting our child a small present at checkout! Truly a hidden gem for families! The Reconstructed·Chaodongli Mini Mall is also a delight to explore. Our little one adored Mocoffee ☕️ + Now Mansion’s brownies. If it’s too hot to venture outside, you’ve got accommodation, dining, coffee, afternoon tea, and art exhibitions all in one place— keeping the kiddo entertained all day long!

How can you visit Beijing without exploring the hutongs? Strolling north from Nanluoguxiang, half a day is just perfect. Two days and one night in Beijing with six adults and six kids—eating, shopping, and chilling. We encountered so many charming spots in the hutong and captured plenty of "Beijing" moments. The kids created wonderful memories here. Route: Exit from Nanluoguxiang Station Exit E and walk straight. For this trip, we chose the trendy Chaodongli Hotel, which embodies Beijing's hutong charm. The hotel and rooms feature a rustic wabi-sabi style, blending Chinese aesthetics everywhere. Full of Beijing flair—located in the bustling city yet peacefully quiet! ✅ Prime location ❤️ Right next to Dongsi Subway Station, making it super convenient to visit the Forbidden City, National Art Museum, and Wangfujing 🚇 Or just wander around the hutongs and nearby unique shops—perfect for Citywalk! ✅ The hotel’s Mini Mall has everything for dining, entertainment, and fun. With kids, you can handle accommodation, meals, coffee, afternoon tea, and art exhibitions all in one place—two days packed with joy. ❤️ Shoutout to the Korean restaurant downstairs—their snowflake cheese fried chicken is absolutely delicious! ✅ Exceptionally thoughtful service! The front desk staff helped carry our luggage to the room. The book lounge and laundry room are together, giving a cozy "ideal home" vibe. Great for families with kids 🏡 In short, traveling with kids is tiring but joyful. Six kids fighting one second and making up the next, Six adults scolding one moment and laughing the next— This Beijing trip was a perfect 💯! We’ll definitely stay here again! Reconstruction·Chaodongli Cultural Hotel (Beijing Wangfujing Branch)

Last weekend, between Wangfujing and Dongsi, I discovered a hidden gem—Chaodongli Minimall—a one-stop destination for dining, accommodation, art spaces, and coffee. Since I was already there, I decided to stay at the restructured Chaodongli Cultural Hotel, which blends Eastern elegance with minimalist design. I must say, every detail in the hotel room is meticulously crafted, totally my vibe! Paired with a neo-Chinese-style cheongsam, it’s a photographer’s dream. Sitting on the sofa by the window, I soaked in the bustling energy and local charm of old Beijing while sipping sweet tea and watching the interplay of greenery and sunlight. In the afternoon, I enjoyed an exquisitely brewed pour-over coffee at [MO Ink] in the hotel courtyard, savoring the fruity aroma and sweet aftertaste—pure relaxation for mind and body. Sunlight streamed through the thoughtfully redesigned architecture, casting a warm glow on the wooden walls of the art space—absolute perfection! With the hotel as your base, exploring Wangfujing or visiting the National Art Museum is super convenient, whether on foot, by bike, or taxi. This Minimall is truly a treasure!

The hotel includes a breakfast every day. A small portion. Breakfast can be served with milk or black tea. Hopefully there will be coffee next time I come. 🤭 It’s not a buffet. The kids were a little disappointed. 😅 The only downside is that there is no elevator, but there is an elevator for luggage. But there is no elevator for people. It may be a little inconvenient to bring the elderly and children.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year in Chaodongli, Beijing is so strong! This is a place that integrates art space, cafe and humanistic hotel. P1-11 is the Mo Shou Chong Coffee House and the intangible cultural heritage exhibition. The intangible cultural heritage exhibition is held in the shared Eight Immortals Art Space. It is called “Four Years and Three Centimeters” and is not only arranged in a very atmospheric way but also has a very touching meaning. It uses China's traditional intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving as a carrier, and expounds the meaning of gradual accumulation and sudden development. The red bamboo weaving sparkles in the light and shadow. Calm down, savor a cup of coffee, and slowly feel the enjoyment brought by traditional aesthetics. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, the atmosphere is full of cultural atmosphere. p13-17 is Reconstruction Chaodongli Humanities Hotel Those who want to experience staycation in Beijing can choose this one~ The hotel is very new, with a simple and warm wabi-sabi style, clean and elegant.

This is a place that combines fashion with Beijing flavor. There are many independent shops and it is fun to visit.

Dongsi's new hutong reminds me of Yangzhou🏮 My impression of Yangzhou is of ancient yet bustling alleys. Just like the hutongs of Qianmen and Dongsi in Beijing, There is the bustling Dongguan Street, and the leisure of Pishi Street. In Li Bai's poems, Yangzhou is romantic. And the "Yangzhou Slow" that floats from Song Ci to the streets, Was once the nocturne of the Twenty-Four Bridges, And the "idle immortals" in the alleys, No matter how tall the buildings are, the simple and self-consistent feelings remain🍵 So I returned to the hutong to listen to this "Beijing Slow". This art courtyard, transformed from an old factory in Dongsi, Is full of lanterns and people, with music, chess, poetry, painting, wine, and tea inside. ⛩️In the "temple" exhibiting intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving art, I listened to the barista telling stories about rare good beans and the production process, As precious as the good wine you have drunk. The senior drinking coffee across from me, Unwrapped his package while talking, and played "Three Variations on the Plum Blossom" on the guqin. The young lady who came from afar, I don't know when she started playing the handpan, The ensemble was so wonderful! I couldn't help but applaud the high mountains and flowing water👏 🪟Next to Dongsi South Street, There is an exhibition space and delicious food and wine downstairs, And a unique art hotel on the second floor. Look up to see "Jianxi" when going upstairs; "Da Yin" in the corridor. In the room, I looked out the window at the old street with big trees, and the tea was still warm after a while🍵 This quietness in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Is the romance of "drunk young people, half taking off the purple velvet robe", And also the "slow" of old Beijing. 🧨In the dim lights, it's New Year again ☕️Hand-brewed coffee｜Intangible cultural heritage bamboo exhibition "Four Years Three Centimeters" 📍Dongsi Subway Station Exit C, 100 meters south 🛏️New Chinese style, humanistic theme art hotel 🌯Old Beijing🍱cuisine🍔burgers🍹cocktails

📍Chaodongli A trendy new community transformed from an old furniture factory, ➡️ integrating hotels, art spaces, dining, and lifestyle. It really feels like Aranya in the second ring road! 📍Baxian Art Space Currently exhibiting "Four Years Three Centimeters" intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving theme exhibition The red color fills the entire space with a festive atmosphere🧨 ☕️MO Hand Drip Coffee Order an Americano and quietly experience this space where the old and new meet A very chill place with convenient transportation, I will come often in the future 🔍No. 36, Dongsi South Street

Beijing's Dongsi North Street is said to be the busiest street in the city. Cafes, small bars, specialty shops and delicious food are all hidden in the long and short alleys in this area. I went to Beijing some time ago and discovered a trendy new landmark! With its unique one-stop Minimall, it has become a new fashion favorite in the bustling area of ​​Dongsi. The multi-dimensional space integrates art, culture and lifestyle, creating a home-like living experience and exploring the physical and mental balance between art and nature. 🔴Art Space How to express traditional culture in modern and contemporary language is the direction that the Eight Immortals Art Space has been exploring. Lift the door curtain and step into the space, you will see the high roof beams, the eye-catching red color... the delicacy and vastness between the vertical and horizontal spaces, through the gaps between millimeters, weave a transparent and bright space. An exhibition always has something to express. [Eight Immortals] uses bamboo weaving as an exhibition medium, trying to open a tiny and insignificant window. Looking out from this window, we can travel through the vague time and space and get a glimpse of the sensual intuition rooted in the oriental DNA and the interest in traditional aesthetics... Let bamboo weaving, with its ancient and traditional craftsmanship, interpret a unique rhythm and pace in the space, and gently tell the slow and firm power that modern people ignore! 🔴Humanistic Hotel The art of bamboo weaving is extended to the hotel space on the second floor. The large suspended bamboo weaving works echo the font of "Look up and see happiness", outlining the oriental freehand style. The overall hotel environment has a return to nature wabi-sabi style, with lamps, lights, plants, utensils... all matched to create a clean, minimalist and soft sense of layering. The lounge area and public tea room in the hotel lobby on the first floor use transparent glass curtain walls, making the entire space flow smoothly and appear more spacious and bright. The staff is very nice and the service is attentive. 🔴Food Paradise "Ink. Hand-brewed Coffee" in the Eight Immortals Art Space incorporates modern style elements into the traditional Chinese space. The new way of playing with exhibitions and coffee is very suitable for young people. The store only sells hand-brewed coffee, and customers can choose their own beans and cups. The price of each serving is between 38 and 58, which is very cost-effective in the hand-brewed price range. Really, you can get three meals a day here in one stop! For breakfast, there is the energy-packed Jingyou Handmade Burger Shop. For dinner, there are Cantonese-style tea restaurants and Korean food. In addition to coffee for afternoon tea, you can also go to the popular Honghua Dim Sum Shop at the door to take away some. By the way, there is a bakery called "Luhui" diagonally across the street. I really like it. I tried several of their bakeries and none of them were disappointing. … P.S.: ▪️Convenient transportation, no more than 200 meters away from Exit C of 🚇Subway Dongsi Station. ▪️Small shops nearby: Xuelian Highlights Creative Park｜Mochaqi Furniture Market｜Paper Sound Bookstore｜Honghua Dessert Bureau｜Luhui｜Three Meals a Day｜Cool Music Records｜Maybe There Are Books｜Wait a Mind CAFE …

The experience was comfortable. I really liked the greenery outside the window. I could sit quietly and watch the scenery and pedestrians on Dongsi Street. 🔴Songzhu Temple and Zhizhu Temple (Temple Dongjingyuan) It can be regarded as a very niche literary and artistic district. It combines ancient temple buildings and commerce so cleverly that it feels magical and eye-opening. Cameras are not allowed to be used in the area, and the material is limited, but it is highly recommended that everyone take a look. Walk through the lively Nanluogu Lane and the alley with fallen leaves, and then turn a few corners to enter this quiet area. There is good light and shadow in the morning, and there are not many people. You can take a leisurely look at the ancient buildings. When you are tired, you can choose a teahouse to drink tea. , really unlocking new experiences beyond just tourists.

Beijing City Walk with Kids | Dongsi: Reconstructing Chaodongli In late autumn in Beijing, take your kids to Dongsi to explore the hutongs. There is a small hutong next to Dongsi Subway Station. Its magic lies in the fact that it is quiet and peaceful inside, while the outside is bustling with traffic. The Reconstructing Chaodongli Hotel is hidden inside, and it integrates a restaurant, bar, art space, and café. The hotel features a new Chinese-style artistic design from the entrance to the backyard. The "Four Years, Three Centimeters" bamboo weaving exhibition in the Baxian Art Space showcases the elegance of bamboo weaving in different ways. This form of bamboo weaving is really photogenic! I also tried drinking hand-brewed coffee from a bamboo-woven teacup for the first time.
