Guozijian Street is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing, starting from Lama Temple Street in the east and Andingmennei Street in the west. It is a well-known archway street in Beijing, also known as "Chengxian Street". Guozijian Street is the old street of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Taixue was set up here. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the Confucian Temple (No. 13‎) and Guozijian (No. 15), with a history of more than 700 years. The entire ancient street is 680 meters long and 12 meters wide. There are 4 arches on the street. The arches on the east and west ends of the street are street arches and are titled "Chengxian Street"; there are two other arches on both sides of the gate of Guozijian, which are titled "Guozijian" to show respect for important national universities. There are dismounting steles on the east and west sides of the archway, on which are engraved "officials, etc., dismount at this point" in Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Tibetan, Hui, and Tote. Emperor Qianlong praised it as "the capital is the first good district, and the Guozijian is the first good place". In addition to the archway, Guozijian, and Confucian Temple, there are many cultural relics on this street. There is a shadow wall in the south of the street facing the gate of Guozijian. On the south side of the road, No. 40, Guozijian Street, used to be the Zaojun Temple, and No. 78, Guozijian Street, used to be the Fire Temple. The Zaojun Temple has been demolished, and the existing gate, main hall, main hall and east and west side halls of the Fire Temple are dedicated to the God of Fire, Emperor Guan and Luban. The No. 3 courtyard of Guozijian is the Songtang Museum. It is a private museum that exhibits gate piers, ancient statues, decorative components of ancient buildings, and various wood and stone carvings. On both sides of the ancient street are mostly low and neat courtyard houses with gray walls and gray tiles, which preserve the style of the streets and alleys of old Beijing. There are locust trees on both sides, the shade of green crowns and the four painted arches, large and small houses, and temples contrast with each other. It is quiet and quiet, making the whole Guozijian Street full of antique flavor.

Experience the Hutongs in Beijing

If you decided to visit Beijing, never miss to take a walk or rent a rickshaw ride in the Hutongs. It's a worthy experience you won't regret. You will have an insight into the real and most traditional culture of old Beijingers. What's this Hutong you say? Hutong is the name given to a narrow lane, alley, or small street between rows of single-storey Siheyuan (Courtyards) dwelled by Beijingers in the past. When viewed from the air the interlaced lanes resemble a maze or a chessboard with delicate gardens, fine rockeries and ancient ruins which makes them a wonder in the world. During my last trip to Beijing, I get to take long walks and at some point a rickshaw ride in between in few of the most visited Hutongs in Beijing. These Hutongs are heaven for photographers, travel content creators, and tourist alike. Not only the locals love the Hutongs, tourists also love them. There are shops and restaurants in most of the Hutongs too, so expect a foodie trip in between. Of the more than 1,000 alleys left, there are ten most distinctive ones. Some of them are famous for the old-style buildings, while some house many traditional and time-honored workshops. Walking along the crisscrossing lanes, you will definitely immerse in the peaceful atmosphere. -Nanluoguxiang (South Gong and Drum Lane) -Yandaixie Street (Yandai Xiejie) -Mao'er Hutong -Guozijian Street -Liulichang Cultural Street -Jinyu Hutong -Dongjiaomin Lane (Dongjiaomin Xiang) -Xijiaomin Lane (Xijiaomin Xiang) -Ju'er Hutong -Bada Hutong You might not have to go to all of the Hutongs, visiting a few of them is enough to experience that real culture of Beijing. Me and my bestfriend went to 4 Hutongs (Nanluoguxiang, Yandaixie, Guozijian Street, and Dongjiaomin Lane) when we're in Beijing. Each has its own perks. How to get to these Hutongs? Shichahai and Dashilar are two areas where Hutongs are mostly located. Visitors can take subway line 8 to Shichahai or subway line 2 or line 7 to Dashilar. Optional: You can hire a rickshaw to guide you to tour around nearby Hutongs as most of them are closely connected. #newyearadventure#tripblazers#foodie#urbanexplorer#awesomepic#passionpassport#celebratewithtrip#bucketlistreboot

The Imperial College, the highest educational institution in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties

🌟Highlights: The Imperial College was the highest educational institution and educational administration in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, equivalent to today's Peking University/Tsinghua University and the Ministry of Education. The Imperial College Street was formed in the Yuan dynasty, called Chengxian Street in the Qing dynasty, renamed the Imperial College Street in the Republic of China, and once called Hongri North Road No. 9 during the Cultural Revolution. In 1965, it was renamed the Imperial College Street again during the street reorganization. In the 10th year of the Dade period of the Yuan dynasty (1306), the Confucius Temple was also built on this street, becoming the place of the sage Confucius in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The Imperial College Street is 680 meters long and about 12 meters wide, with four archways, known as the Archway Street. In front of the Confucius Temple, there are two dismounting steles, with the words "Officials and others dismount here!" written in six languages, including Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese, to show respect for the sage Confucius. The Imperial College Street in winter is simple and quiet, with red walls, gray tiles, and old tree branches, full of ancient charm. Walking on the ancient street paved with gray bricks, you can feel the low-key and profound Confucian cultural heritage. Some old buildings on the street have been renovated and repaired, becoming characteristic cultural and creative shops, incense shops, cafes, and restaurants. You can feel the integration of history and modernity. Sitting in a warm cafe, quietly drinking a cup of latte, looking at the ancient trees, old houses, and old streets outside the window, you seem to travel back to the historical era. 📝Tips: The Confucius Temple and the Imperial College are closed on Mondays, and there is an explanation screen at the entrance for visitors to learn about. 🚉Transportation: Take Metro Line 5, get off at Yonghegong Station, exit from Exit B, turn right, and walk about 500 meters. You can also navigate to the Imperial College Street on your phone.

Guozijian Street

#cherryblossom2024 I found this street is very interesting. The name is Guozijian Street. Located in Dongcheng District, this street is very close to Yonghe Temple. If you come to Yonghe Temple, just cross the street and you'll find this spot. In this street, you can find some shops to have a snack or taking photos with traditional Chinese buildings or ornaments. Super suitable for spring strolling! I also found sellers opened a temporary traditional market in one of the corner of Guozijian. There's also an important heritage building here, called Confucius Temple. You should try to visit here when you come to Beijing.
