Where Hutong Whispers Meet Hipster Vibes – Beijing’s Most Famous Alley Reinvented

#chinatravel

Wander this Yuan dynasty-era alleyway, now pulsing with craft coffee shops, vinyl record bars, and designer qipaos—where the scent of stinky tofu battles third-wave espresso, and every courtyard door hides either a timeworn siheyuan or a speakeasy.

✔ WHY NANLUO?
✅ Living History – One of 25 protected hutongs, with original grey-brick courtyard walls
✅ Photogenic Chaos – Neon signs reflecting in puddle-strewn flagstones

📍 Location: North of Forbidden City (Line 6/8, Nanluoguxiang Station)
