Formed in 2003, Nanluoguxiang Bar Street is an amazingly attractive bar alley situated in Beijing's Dongcheng District. The bar street is well-known for its intact and well-preserved courtyard houses with brick walls and traditional decorations. It's probably the quietest one in the capital city -- compared to the other five, that is. Generally speaking, prices are doable and various snacks are offered. It's quite the experience to get this close to traditional Beijing life here. Visitors can also tour the numerous boutique shops lining both sides of the alley. [Photo/china.org.cn]
