What's interesting about Beiluoguxiang?

Beiluoguxiang, located in Beijing, is a unique local hutong group, which shows the cultural charm of old Beijingers and makes people yearn for it. The following is a specific raiders guide.

Beiluoguxiang is much cleaner and more suitable for the existence of cafes. Colorful, quiet or chaotic hutongs, old Beijing grandfathers and aunts walking their dogs passed by tourists looking around, unable to move the old yard and locust trees with a history of hundreds of years. These pictures have an indescribable temptation for coffee lovers.

There is a big tree in front of the shop. There is a wooden bar around the tree, where you can stand and drink coffee. There are posters of recent performances and exhibitions on the suitcase. The yellow signboard of acrylic reflects the shadows of trees and is smart with the wind. The room is Nordic-style simplicity. Rough old white brick walls and flowers on the table eased the toughness of steel and cement. On the day coffee woke up, there was a humanistic photography exhibition in the store, which showed the photography works of domestic and foreign artists, and the sense of life and art was integrated.

The most eye-catching thing is the colorful tableware on the medieval shelves that walked into the store door. The cups and plates in northern Europe and Germany are brightly colored. These19th century designs are not out of date today. Originating from the natural environment of northern Europe, elements such as glaciers, lakes, forests, flowers and birds are presented in colorful patterns in an imaginative way, which are bright and dazzling.

As for coffee, the products promoted by the shopkeeper are also extremely shallow roasted in northern Europe, with a faint juice-like taste, which embodies the essence of coffee cherry fruit. The dirty osmanthus oatmeal latte is a lot of coffee ordered by the guests, and it has a very light smell of baked beans. Just a sip will make you happy and full of happiness. Listening to blues music, watching artists' works and drinking coffee in medieval coffee cups, most of the time, what we drink is not the coffee itself, but the quiet years of this scene.

This boutique hotel rooted in Hutong culture is like a utopia dedicated to rest and meditation in the Second Ring Road. Seven rooms transformed from old houses are distributed in three areas, and each area is not a simple copy, but presents a completely different layout according to space and height. What remains unchanged is the pleasant feeling like living in the old days.

This room gives maximum consideration to area and light. The two main colors of wood and pure white create a pleasing and comfortable atmosphere, giving people general warmth. Simple new Chinese wooden furniture, with obvious wood texture, is clumsy and lovely in simplicity. As night falls, the light of the iron mesh lampshade on the wall is hollowed out, adding a somewhat blurred artistic sense.

The independent rooftop is undoubtedly a highlight. From the commanding heights of the whole hotel, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery around the bell and drum tower. Be sure to come here before dawn, otherwise you will miss the picture that can't be described in words: the distant view is a pink sunset, the middle view is a 600-year-old bell tower at the northern end of the central axis of old Beijing, and the close view is a small and beautiful online celebrity baking shop specializing in fresh baking shops for American hand baking.

Established in 1956, this old shop is known as the last state-owned grocery store in Beijing. As soon as I entered the door, the smell of the old supply and marketing cooperatives more than half a century ago came to my face: commercial posters that were almost out of print in the 1970s, tan wooden counters with worn paint, old pickle jars, old plaques with the words "authentic" and "22,000 gold", and even measuring tools kept traditional scales and abacus, just like the shooting scene of large-scale chronological dramas.

This store specializes in "Baer sauce" blended according to the ratio of two sesame seeds and eight peanuts, as well as classic pickles such as yellow sauce, sesame oil, pickled cucumber and dried radish, as well as tobacco and alcohol snacks. The detailed explanation posted on the wall to teach customers how to make old Beijing fried sauce was photographed by many young people who came to the store for the first time and made videos. It can be seen that this state-owned old shop is not only selling things, but thinking about how to better inherit traditional culture.

A few years ago, many physical record stores in Beijing closed down one after another, and solo records located in Gulou East Street were one of the few that still persisted. Different from other video stores, the walls and floors on both sides of the store are covered with all kinds of records. In addition to imported CDs, there are also original glue, limited edition colored glue, black glue and second-hand CDs. Music styles include indie rock, electronic and some second-hand hip-hop. This place is more like a documentary exhibition than a sale.

Some people say that solo records are the last spiritual comfort of the old soul who loves music. Standing in a dazzling array of records, the album cover full of designers' thoughts evokes people's yearning for music. People here open the inside pages of records and listen to each song against the lyrics. I don't know at which moment, they will be moved by some lyrics.
