The Beijing Way Experience offers off the beaten track experiences about Beijing. We bring you closer to the original way of living at its own pace.
What a vivid and nostalgic scene! The street vendors' chants in Old Beijing were indeed a unique part of the city's cultural fabric. The call —*"磨剪子嘞，戗菜刀！"* (*"Mó jiǎnzi lè, qiàng càidāo!"*)—is one of the most iconic, evoking the sounds of a bygone era when craftsmen and peddlers roamed the hutongs (narrow alleys), offering their services with rhythmic, melodic cries.
This particular chant was used by knife sharpeners, who carried their grinding wheels and tools, announcing their presence to households needing their blades honed. The sing-song cadence was both functional (to attract customers) and artistic, reflecting the musicality of Beijing's street culture.
Hutongs!

Have you wondered how to drink Tea just like an expert and a local? Let's start from Holding a Cup of Tea. Use your forefinger and thumb to hold the edge of the cup, and naturally lay the cup on top of your middle finger. This is the most stable way to hold a cup of hot tea and in a beautiful posture. We call it "Three Dragons Guarding the Tripod". Tea and Mindfulness

Today's Beginning of Winter:
Harvest in Autumn, Store in Winter. What we call secret storage is being always happy about little things in life in the heart and not make it widely known.
The spirit is stable and the behavior is slow. Any impulsive disorder is like thunder in winter. If the Yang does not accumulate, it will be plagued in spring. In this round, people are prone to tinnitus, sore dry throat, urinary incontinence, diarrhea, headache, dry eyes, shoulder and back pain, especially emotional depression, the root of the disease is stomach cold and kidney cold.
Keeping in good health on Beginning of Winter: Good sleep is Tonic.

What a beautiful moment that Photographer Uncle Wang captured of the gate of Beijing's Traditional Courtyard House in 1990's. The gate is already gone with its house and the entire hutong (Beijing's lanes )during the large-scale construction. Uncle Wang's photography works become even more valuable. He made preservation efforts of an authentic Beijing in his own way. Chinese Architecture & its People

This is one of the most beautiful architectures in former Prince Qing's mansion where I grew up. I feel very attached to old architectures in Beijing(although I'm not a Princess:). They are my childhood memory, Mom, Dad, Sisters, my Friends, my Home. Chinese Architecture & its People
