The Clash of Trend and Tradition: Exploring the Beauty of Sanlitun and Wangfujing Day and Night

This time, we visited two famous commercial areas: Sanlitun and Wangfujing. Sanlitun is renowned for its modern architecture, with Taikoo Li being a prime example of avant-garde design, combining glass, steel, and natural light, making it an ideal place for shopping and leisure. In the evening, the neon lights of the bar street create a romantic and lively atmosphere. Wangfujing, on the other hand, has a more historical feel. During the day, it's perfect for exploring traditional department stores and old-brand shops, such as those selling Beijing's famous candied hawthorns. At night, the brightly lit Wangfujing pedestrian street, intertwined with churches and European-style buildings, offers a unique charm. Visiting Tips: ▪️ Sanlitun: Best visited from evening to night to enjoy the nightlife and light scenes. ▪️ Wangfujing: Ideal from afternoon to night, with shopping during the day and night views in the evening. Precautions: 🔹 Crowds are heavy during holidays, so it's best to avoid peak times. 🔹 Beware of pickpockets and keep your personal belongings safe. 🔹 Both places have subway stations, making transportation convenient. They are excellent choices for experiencing the modern and traditional aspects of Beijing.
