Traveler reviews

    ★★★★★9 months ago

    Is actually called Dashilar, and is split into the west and east streets. But the main attractions are along the east, with its spectacularly mindblowing building facades. It’s not a long street, but it’s definitely worth every minute of your time to check it out. Don’t miss the east section if you’re on Qianmen Emperor’s Street anyway.

    If you’re around this area, don’t miss out on Yangmeizhuxie Road✨ It’s a charming little street full of surprises—cozy indie cafés ☕, cute local souvenir shop🛍️@乾坤空间QianKunSpace, and that laid-back, artsy vibe you’ll love. Perfect for a slow stroll, coffee break, or finding that one-of-a-kind gift. Totally worth exploring!
