Around the Village

Home > Arts & Entertainment > Around the Village

Sanlitun has always been a diverse melting pot here in Beijing, standing out from the rest of the city as a place where east meets west, where traditional values stand side by side with modern society, and the world of diplomacy blends seamlessly with a vibrant cultural scene.

Bar Street

To the east of the Village lies Bar Street, one of Beijing's most popular night destinations for both locals and visitors alike, featuring a wide array of bars, clubs, restaurants and everything in between. Hot spots include: Alameda, The Saddle, Boys & Girls, Aperitivo and Kai Club.

Blue Zoo

For those with children, the area also boasts Beijing's first walk through aquarium, Blue Zoo, featuring fish species from all over the world in Asia's largest aquarium of its kind.

C5 Gallery

C5 Gallery is a professional art institute devoted to promoting young Chinese contemporary artists to a wider audience and facilitating art's positive influence on peoples' lives. C5 Gallery has thus curated a series of shows focusing on exploring various subjects and artwork forms to observe the connection between the past and present from ideological and cultural perspective, and to cultivate in China both an art and artists that we can truly call our own.

Workers Stadium

Just west of Village South is Workers Stadium, home to Beijing's premier sporting and music venue, hosting a variety of sporting events including Beijing's football team, as well as international music stars such as Kanye West, Avril Lavinge and Kylie Minogue.

More bars, clubs and restaurants are situated there, like The Quaye, Coco Banana, 3 Guizhou Men, Destination, Babyface, Face Bar & Restaurants.
