There are many interesting small shops in many other hutong areas in Beijing. Ah Hu's focus today is Wudaoying Hutong and Yangmeizhu in Xie Jie.
Walking with friends in Wudaoying Hutong on weekend night seems to be exploring the unique charm of old Beijing, and I can't help but be attracted by the unique atmosphere here. In this alley, there are many treasure shops waiting to be discovered. The following are some shops that I personally think are great, hoping to provide you with reference:
Delia: This antique shop exudes the retro style of1970s. Its clothes, sunglasses and jewelry are full of style, as if going back to the past.
Crazy Rabbit Retro Shop: This antique shop is very cost-effective, and there are many items of the Western Empress Dowager, which makes people feel excited.
Band-aid 8: This is an original clothing brand and cultural creative store, founded by an Englishman who has lived in Beijing for 20 years. The funny design in the shop is very attractive.
Small accent: This toy store is full of egg twisters, which is a paradise for friends who like to twist eggs. The choice is very rich.
The total length of Yangmeizhu Xie Jie is only 496 meters, but in this short 500 meters, there are countless art shops hidden. When you are free, go shopping together, buy nothing, just stroll around, chat with the boss and sit in the store for a cup of tea. It's all very happy. The following shops are well worth visiting:
