Dafang Department Store
Lift the army green curtain, and you'll be transported back to the 'State-owned Department Store' of 1979. The glass counters are filled with needles, threads, hats, and buttons.
Zhaofu Street Grocery Store
The small grocery store still retains traces of the era of 'purchase with tickets'. The counters and shelves are old items from decades ago; even the propaganda posters are original versions from the 1970s and 1980s.
Qianmen Liubiju
Even though you can buy ready-made bottled Liubiju in supermarkets, old customers still prefer to queue up at Qianmen Liubiju to buy pickles. Time has marched on to 2019, but the taste and rituals of old Beijing remain the same as before.
Yan Feng Shopping Mall
It is also an old shopping mall, but unlike Dafang Department Store, Yan Feng mainly sells fruits, vegetables, cooked food, and snacks. Just taking a stroll around here is immensely satisfying. At the end of the year, old Beijingers love to come here to stock up on New Year's goods.
Anhua Building
Because the exterior of the building looks very normal, but the interior is extremely decadent and retro. The magical feeling brought by the huge contrast also attracts many people to come and check in.
Subway Line 2
No matter how many new subway lines have been built in Beijing, Line 2 still retains the appearance it had when it was first completed. When you breathe, you can still smell the unique scent of Line 2.
