Bold and Inclusive: Jinyu Jintai · Shared Interchange
No. 20, Zhaofu Street, Dongcheng District
The brilliance of the Pompidou Center and the Louvre cannot overshadow Paris's embrace of street art and niche cultures, which is why art flourishes. In Beijing, besides the 798 Art District, other niche art neighborhoods are also emerging rapidly.
Jinyu Jintai · Shared Interchange has become a favorite among many young people in recent years. With numerous neighboring cafes, hidden exhibition spaces under trees, the Little Goldfish Theater, and the Dream Office Art Bookstore. Rebellion, boldness, and vitality wake up drowsy minds at the intersection of spring and summer.
Graceful Growth: Langyuan
No. 53, Banjietan Road, Chaoyang District
The universality of Paris's romance allows beautiful stories to unfold not only along the riverbanks and gardens but also in post-industrial ruins or architecturally rugged buildings. Its inclusiveness enables grace to grow in all types of structures.
Entering the Jiangfu Park in front of Langyuan Station, the play of light and shadow in the woods transports us to a hidden realm distinct from the high-density modern urban landscape. The park was formerly a textile warehouse built in the 1960s. Nowadays, more and more cultural and artistic spaces, concept stores, and cafes have settled in, setting the stage for a delightful experience. The rest is left to unfold naturally.
Scent of the Seine River: Liangma Riverbank
Near Liangmaqiao Subway Station, Chaoyang District
Parisians cannot be separated from the Seine River, especially during the glistening moments of sunrise and sunset when the sun sprinkles golden flakes onto the water. On the Liangma Riverbank in Beijing, you can also feel the whispers of the water and moments of inner resonance.
With willow trees swaying in the wind and the fragrance of flowers in the air, you can leisurely walk along the river, stopping at places like Chaoyang Park or Blue Harbor. The sound of water accompanies you along the way. Can we perhaps recreate the reunion and conversation between Jesse and Celine from the "Before Sunrise" trilogy during a sunset here?
