Sanlitun itself represents a kind of humanistic style. It is an activity area that integrates culture, fashion, creativity, lifestyle and other aspects. Everything here is centered on people. In addition to enjoying food, shopping and having fun, people can also create art and lead fashion. It is a unique trend experience. There are not only bars here, but also many exhibitions and sculptures with a very artistic atmosphere. It is also a good place to take pictures and walk with children. At night, the whole street is full of lights and wine, and there are luxury cars and beautiful women. This is also the most fashionable and in-trend street.

In the early autumn when the weather is clear, it is exciting to hang out in Sanlitun bars. I wonder what people think of Sanlitun Bar Street? I only know that it is mysterious, indulgent, cathartic and confused by youth.

Before the pandemic, the bars on the street would light up with colorful lights as soon as it got dark! The resident singers would play the piano and sing songs leisurely, and young people would go out together after get off work, drinking a beer and a plate of salad or fries, quietly watching people coming and going on the other side. Now, most of them are closed, and we hope that the pandemic will end and we can resume our old days soon!

Sanlitun Bar Street has undergone tremendous changes over the years. Only the street facing east still retains its original appearance. The street on the west has been demolished and turned into the current Taikoo Li Shopping Center. There are fewer people coming to Sanlitun Bar Street during the day than before. However, there are still many people coming at night, mostly young people. It is still nice to shop and visit the bar street at the same time.
