Small but fun places to visit for ethnic minorities in Beijing on May Day

The May Day holiday is approaching, but the domestic epidemic is still serious and inter-provincial tourism activities have been suspended. However, as the capital of China, there are still many fun places here. Below I recommend a few small but interesting places in Beijing for you. Come and take a look!

1. Wudaoying Hutong

If this is your first time in Beijing, you can go to Nanluogu Alley first. If you are tired, you can find something to eat nearby and rest. After all, Nanluoguxiang is the most representative place, but there are many people every weekend!

If you like quiet, come to Wudaoying Hutong! Wudaoying, formerly known as Wudeweiying, is now a new gathering place for petty bourgeoisie literature and art in Beijing. Hutongs are full of cafes, boutiques, specialty restaurants, painting houses, and residential houses. Here, you can see many young people sitting by the window on the second floor or on the outdoor terrace, drinking coffee and silently admiring all the fireworks in the alley. For them, whose rhythm is long and fast, it is a kind of enjoyment and a comfortable way of life.

For coffee, you can try these two coffee houses~

2. Beiluogu Lane

Beiluogu Lane is a quiet alley with scattered houses and shops. It feels relaxed and laid-back, not commercial. You can walk slowly, savor it carefully, sit on rusty bicycles, old shops, courtyards where clothes are dried, and cafes that suddenly appear~ If autumn comes, the golden ginkgo leaves on the ground will be particularly dazzling!

3. Shunyi Loutai Village Community Service Station

Shunyi Loutai Village Community Service Station is known as "Little Holland". There are windmills and picnics here, and it's also close to other attractions such as West Lake Gardens, Roman Lake, Black Swan Afternoon Tea, and more! And it's free here! In the morning you can go to the Pinwheel and the Sea of ??Flowers, and in the afternoon you can have a cup of Fairy Black Swan Afternoon Tea, which is happiness and beauty!

4. Shougang Park

The predecessor of Shougang Park was the Longyan Iron Ore Jingshan Refinery founded by the Beiyang Government. Shougang Park used to be full of industrial style, but since the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, it has attracted a large number of people to check in at the "Big Diving Platform" of Beijing Shougang Park and experience the thrilling scene.

5. Food

If you come to Beijing and want to try the taste of old Beijing, you can try it in the alley in Dashilar, Qianmen, but most people may not be used to bean juice and braised pork. Something like that. But you still have to try Peking duck in Beijing. Beijing locals usually go to Four Seasons Fu Min, Bianyifang, and Xiaodong Roast Duck, all of which are good! If you want to eat a high-end style roast duck, you can choose the view location of the Four Seasons Fu Min Palace Museum. Outside the window is the east gate and moat of the Forbidden City!

Afternoon tea is very common in the British style, but the old Beijing afternoon tea seems strange! A must-try at Huafu Bobo Store. As soon as you step into the home, you feel the royal atmosphere. You also have to pull weeds vigorously in this environment! The dessert is very delicate and well cut.

You can try it!
