Nanxin Granary Food Culture Street (南新仓文化休闲街景区)

Nanxincang was one of the royal granaries for grains and rice storage in Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties with a history of 600 years, almost the same age as the Forbidden City in Beijing. It was built on the site of Beitaicang in 1409 during the 7th year of Emperor Yong Le’s reign of the Yuan Dynasty. The area of the street is 26,000 square meters.

With particular charm of the historical culture, it has been carefully recreated to maintain the original granary. The architectures are mainly composed of ancient grain houses, other replicated traditionally-styled buildings and a 15-storey commercial office building. The street covers an area of 26,000 square meters, and is about 1000 meters long.

The street is lined with cultural places such as art galleries, a classical music media center, a film and television cultural club, KunQun Opera Theater, a music bar, a sales and exhibition center of famous automobiles, tea houses and other recreational facilities.
