The famous Liulichang Cultural Street in Beijing is located at Hepingmenwai in Beijing. It extends from Nanbei Liuxiang Alley in Xicheng District to Yanshou Street in Xicheng District in the east, with a total length of about 800 meters.

During the Qing Dynasty, most of the scholars from all over the country who came to Beijing to take the imperial examinations lived in this area. Therefore, there are many stores selling ink, paper and ink stone and various books, making the cultural atmosphere quite strong. During weekdays, Liulichang Street is very quiet without the noisy hustle and bustle. Walking on the street, the fragrance of ink fills the air and makes people refreshing.

On Liulichang Culture Street, the famous old stores are worth a visit, such as Yide Ge, Ruicheng Zhai, GuYI Zhai and so on. Among them, the most famous is Rongbao Zhai. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, literati and inkmen often gathered here. During the Republic of China, the old generation of calligraphers and painters such as Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and so on were also regular customers here.

Liulichang is regarded as the window of Chinese traditional culture and has the reputation of "Chinese Museum Street". Some scholars even call the bookstores dealing with antique books and magazines and stores selling literary treasures here "cheap libraries" and "free museums".
