Known as the ‘Mini 798’ in Dongcheng, this cultural and creative (C&C) zone deep in Fangjia Hutong is a haven for the young and romantic art lovers. Built on the site of a massive machine tool factory, 46 Fangjia Hutong now houses arty restaurants and cafés, luxury fashion stores, a hotel, as well as over 40 C&C institutes. Small bars line up along the narrow alley, making it a perfect spot for laid-back Saturday hangouts. Be sure to check out the Red Theatre’s regular events here, including contemporary dance performances, exhibitions, shadow puppet plays, and small concerts.
