A hidden alley next to Qianmen Street, a haven in the bustling area

Today, I'm sharing an interesting and less-known alley. It's right next to the famous commercial street, Qianmen Street in Beijing, yet it's full of scholarly atmosphere and rarely visited by tourists, quiet as a haven in the bustling area. This is a north-south alley, divided into North Xiaoshun Alley and South Xiaoshun Alley by the Xianyukou food street. Turning into South Xiaoshun Alley from Xianyukou, it seems to shield the hustle and bustle, and the world calms down. At some point, this place has become a living experience space where bookstores gather. Including the Republic of China style slow sit bookstore where you can play script kill, the female-themed bookstore Huadie'er, the youth-themed bookstore Warm Hug, the Book Sword Tea Academy with one book, one tea, one world, and the Ye Ye Bodhi that combines vegetarian restaurant and health culture bookstore... Each space is unique and it's very comfortable to walk around. 📍Walking route: Near the east gate of Xianyukou pedestrian street, only walkable Citywalk, the entrance of the alley is the youth bookstore, South Xiaoshun Alley—Dajiang Alley—Alishan Square. 🌟Travel suggestions: 1. A quiet and less-known leisure space, many bookstores can provide coffee or tea, especially suitable for rest and relaxation after playing on Qianmen Street. 2. An undisturbed photo spot, the wooden carved building of Ye Ye Bodhi, the red train bar at Alishan Square, the photos have a unique charm.
