Address: Chongwen District

Situated on the south axis of Beijing, Qianmen Street, known as Tian Jie (Heavenly Street)as well, has a history of over 570 years. Ancient style and modern business are perfectly integrated thanks to the renovation. All the time-honoured shops like Quanjude (the most renowned Peking Duck restaurant) have returned. Moreover, over 20 world-famous brands have decided to set up stores here, including Apple, Starbuck, etc.

After the renovation, some ingrained elements in the memory of Beijing natives have once again appeared, such as the old street lamps modelled on bird cages, Bingtanghulu, etc., the green and white road surface and the Dangdangche (a kind of streetcar).

Means of transportation: Bus 20/203/59/5/66, get off at Qianmen Station; Subway Line 2, get off at Qianmen Station
