Qianmen Street: Where Beijing's Past and Present Collide

#chinatravel

Stroll down this 600-year-old imperial thoroughfare and witness the fascinating juxtaposition of Ming Dynasty architecture with vibrant modern energy. Once the exclusive shopping lane for emperors, today's Qianmen (Front Gate) Street invites you to:

Step Back in Time
- Walk the same 845-meter flagstone path that welcomed Ming and Qing royalty
- Admire the painstakingly restored paifang gates and traditional shop facades
- Catch a Peking Opera snippet at the vintage-style cinema

๐Ÿš‡ Metro Line 2 to Qianmen Station (Exit C)
