the coffeeshops of nanluoguxiang

the coffeeshop where we spend our days avoiding the sun… is where goldfishes swim in the sky.

If you are ever in Beijing and have editors on your tail / need a good chill spot for inspiration, break a buck 25 at Nanluoguxiang, a strip of Hutong near Houhai. It’s old Beijing meets western salon, and the result is better than you can hope to be.
