Beijing Youth Road is known as the "back garden of CBD". With the iconic Chaoyang Joy City and many small but beautiful literary stores, it has formed a unique youth culture.

Part.1 A gathering place for young people in Beijing 

Youth Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing is a very lifestyle and young shopping district. Not as sophisticated and fashionable as China World Trade Center or Sanlitun, it's vibrant and a must-visit place for many young people on weekends. The comfortable environment and high quality neighborhoods make it an ideal residence for CBD office workers.

Part.2 Iconic Chaoyang Joy City 

The landmark building on Youth Road is the Chaoyang Joy City, which is a place of fashion initiation for many young people, bringing together many global fashion brands, beauty, clothing, exhibitions, and trendy games.

The mall is surrounded by mainly residential neighborhoods. Convenient supermarkets and agro-product stores meet the daily life of the surrounding residents. Youth Road also represents the attitude of young people. The coffee stores and bars with an excellent atmosphere and many good literary stores are worth a visit.

PART.2 A street of cafes and bars

①Quiet and relaxing neighborhood coffee shops

A large number of coffee shops and bars are where the spirit of youth road lives. In addition to the well-known coffee brands such as Seesaw, Metal Hands and Berry Beans, a street of cozy community coffee shops has also developed here. The cafes are concentrated on the south side of Huafeng Yicheng district. These cafes are small in size, but are decorated well, and each has its own characteristics. The steady coffee production and private baked treats make the nearby residents come to spend their leisure time here on a regular basis.

②Enjoy a drink

The nightlife on Youth Road is also equally exciting. When night falls, the light signs start to light up and white-collar workers gather here to express their emotions. There are the Peking Monsters owned by Peng Lei of the band New Pants, the characteristically decorated Zun Bar, and Grape Lane with Western food and wine. When you feel tired, you can have a drink here.

PART.3 Strolling in the park

Parks of all sizes are always full of vitality and liveliness, being a playground for children after school, and a leisure venue for nearby residents to exercise and work out. When the flowers are blooming, why not go out for a walk and relax?

Every city has a youth road, which has recorded the youth of many people and witnessed the development of the city.
