Qianmen-Dashilan (Dazhalan) Shopping Area

As the oldest commercial street in Beijing, the fortunes of the Qianmen-Dashila shopping area have reflected the city's sometimes turbulent history.

For generations, many Zhonghua Laozihao (Time- Honoured Chinese Brands) have welcomed customers here. After recent renovations, the century old shopping area is booming, because of its historic atmosphere and new conveniences.

Traffic: Subway Line 2, Qianmen Station; Bus No: 2, 5, 9, 20 and 44
