Midsummer Night in Beijing

2021-07-21

On a glittering night, why not meet some friends to enjoy delicious food and have a fancy night tour!

The Midnight Dinner at The Place is back again, and there are several other places worth visiting.

Solana

The building of Solana is European style, covering nearly 500 selected brands of shopping, food and entertainment. The dazzling fountain and the small train on the square attracted many children.

At night, the place is even more charming. Afternoon tea, shopping, dining and entertainment are all available here. Come to Eros Square to enjoy the night view and delicious food is a perfect pleasure.

Address: No. 6 Chaoyang Park Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing

Wang Jing Walk

Wang Jing Walk is lined with stores and public activity spaces such as art galleries, exhibition halls and fashion bazaars, etc. It promotes the rejuvenation of the people nearby and diversification of the economy by fully shaping public space, which in turn stimulates the innovation of urban neighborhoods.

The exhibition “Beijing Records” is currently being held. By exploring the ancient capital of Beijing, visitors can get to know the profound culture of Beijing and feel the changes in the city. Here you can hear the shouting of vendors selling ice-sugar gourds, the clamor of roaring cars and the triumphant horns.

Exhibition Period: July 12 to July 25, 2021

Address: Wang Jing Walk - Wang Jing Fang - NEEDART Art Space

Wudaoying Hutong

It's not easy to find a quiet street where you can walk alone slowly with great flavor in bustling Beijing.

Wudaoying Hutong is one such street. It is neither as crowded and commercial as South Luogu Lane, nor as boring as other hutongs in Beijing.

Whether it is a small store selling various knick-knacks on the street or a small but well-decorated coffee house is worth visiting.

Address: Wudaoying Hutong, Andingmen, Dongcheng District, Beijing

Gulou Street

Gulou Street was once the oldest commercial district in Beijing. Since the establishment of the Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been an important part of the entire capital according to the principles. The road is lined with stores, merchants and busy people. The hutong is filled with the beautiful houses of influential officials and boosters and also shabby homes of ordinary people.

The capital’s traditional scenes are well preserved in Gulou East Street with gray walls and green tiles and several time-honored brands such as Wonton Hou, Wu Yutai, Nei Liangsheng and Dong Lai Shun, etc. The storefronts are simple and elegant but are crowded with visitors.

Address: Gulou Street, Xicheng District, Beijing

The Place

There are 100 kinds of snacks, nearly 20 + brands involved in the classic night market snacks and many cultural and creative brands. Every night, there is also a canopy video show. It’s cozy to enjoy delicious food and the gorgeous light show with the breeze.

The Midnight Dinner is just under the canopy. The atmosphere of life and the bustling people are all gathered in this street.

Address: No. A9, Guanghua Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing
