During the second day of our trip to Beijing we visited a beautiful park to see the Maple trees that turn all yellow during the fall season!
What a wonderful experience! Jay loved it! We of course have delicious food and at night we visited the vibrant Sanlitun district!

Sanlitun means ‘three-mile village’ in Chinese, in reference to its proximity to the heart of Beijing – but this glitzy corner of the Chaoyang District offers so much more than just a convenient location. Home to Beijing’s most glamorous nightclubs, fashion boutiques and international restaurants, Sanlitun is one of the most exciting neighborhoods in town.

Sanlitun is known for its fashionable dining and nightlife scene. Upscale Chinese restaurants serve crispy roast duck, global bistros and pastry cafes offer European fare, and tiny shops sell noodles and stewed pork buns to revelers spilling out of the area’s karaoke bars, cocktail lounges and raucous dance clubs. The massive Taikoo Li mall is home to international chain stores and contemporary outdoor sculptures.

It is a popular destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The area has been under almost constant regeneration since the late 20th century as part of a citywide project of economic regrowth. It currently houses many bars and clubs popular with both locals and foreigners as well as international brand-name stores such as Uniqlo, Apple, Nike and Adidas. It is notable for housing the largest Adidas store in the world.

It may only be seven or so kilometers northeast of the Forbidden City, but the bright lights of Sanlitun feel thousands of miles away from the traditional image of China. The neighborhood’s first bars opened in the 1990s and cemented Sanlitun’s reputation as Beijing’s party hotspot, from the mega-clubs around Gongti to the rowdy bars on Dirty Bar Street. These are the stops you should have on your itinerary after the sun goes down.
