Hidden in the bustling shopping hub of Wangfujing Street in Beijing, Heping Guoju, a section whose name means \"pastry shop,\" vividly recreates the feel of Beijing in the 1980s.
This immersive experience brings iconic Beijing elements to life, including hutongs, oil stores, train stations, and grocery stores from around 40 years ago. Visitors can stroll through the area, savoring traditional walnut cakes or handmade candies, and relive nostalgic childhood memories.
Heping Guoju serves as a time machine, taking many Beijingers born in the 1980s back to their childhood while offering a unique opportunity to reflect on the rapid transformation of China's capital over the decades.
