What are the must-visit attractions and exhibition halls for young artists in Beijing?

As both young and artistic people, I have been to many places in Beijing. I would recommend the Red Brick Art Museum first, because it is really beautiful. Even if you don’t see the exhibition, just looking at the architecture is a good visual experience.

In addition, Liulichang, 798, Nanluoguxiang and Houhai are also good. Especially the bar street in Houhai is a must-visit for literary and artistic young people.

Say To be honest, Nanluogu Alley is more commercialized and has more tourists, but this does not affect its status in the hearts of literary and artistic youths. After all, it represents Beijing's Hutong culture.

Nanluoguxiang

Reason for recommendation

Nowadays Nanluoguxiang is more commercial, but it is still the place that best represents the hutong culture of old Beijing. From literary masters to painting giants, the numerous former residences of celebrities around it also add to its cultural and historical heritage.

Finally, there is the bar street of Houhai, which is also a gathering place for artistic youth. Especially at night, the combination of street singers and fine wine creates a full atmosphere.

Houhai

Reason for Recommendation

Having said that, at night, the unique night view of Houhai and the atmosphere of the bar are not something ordinary people can resist.

Introduction to Houhai

Beijing’s Houhai is part of Shichahai, which consists of three water bodies: Qianhai, Houhai and Xihai. Houhai is a bar street famous for its bar characteristics. , today’s Houhai still retains the basic appearance of old Beijing culture during the day, with alleys, tricycles, courtyards, bird walks, chess players, and flower appreciators all still there. At night, tourists from all over the country and old Beijing, with southern and northern accents and different skin colors, crowd into this small area, making it very lively.

The following are some personal suggestions:

The most important thing is to wear a mask and a health treasure 72-hour nucleic acid test negative certificate, no matter where you go.

These items cannot be omitted. Even if there are no mandatory requirements for the pedestrian street, you still have to drink a cup of coffee and have lunch. You must activate the "Beijing Health Treasure" in advance and bring more masks. Remember to do it before setting off. nucleic acids.

Places with a strong artistic atmosphere are always suitable for taking pictures, such as artistic graffiti walls, buildings and sculptures with unique perspectives, etc. Good-looking girls can dress up beautifully and hold their mobile phones. Take a photo, remember to bring a selfie stick and a power bank.

If you are not a Beijing local, it is best to book round-trip tickets in advance, especially during holidays. Tickets for popular routes like Beijing will be particularly difficult to buy.

Also book a hotel in advance. Don’t stay too far away from the scenic spots. If that doesn’t work, stay close to the subway. This will be particularly convenient for travel. Beijing’s subways extend in all directions, and most scenic spots can be reached by subway. When you arrive, you can check the route.

It is best not to drive by yourself, especially during peak tourist seasons and holidays, because there may be traffic jams for a long time, and you will most likely not be able to find a parking space. Don’t ask me how I know o(╥﹏╥)o

Beijing’s subways are extremely crowded during rush hour, so you can squeeze out of the car, so plan your time and try to avoid peak hours.

Finally, I wish you a happy time~?
