Qianmen and Dashilan are two closely connected historic districts in Beijing, both part of the vibrant Qianmen area just on the Central Axis of the capital city. Qianmen Street, with its grand architecture and modern shops, serves as the gateway to Dashilan, a maze of narrow alleys filled with traditional silk, tea, and snack vendors. A short walk from Qianmen brings you into Dashilan's lively atmosphere of old Beijing, where heritage brands and local delicacies preserve the city's rich cultural history.
