Nanxin Granary Food Culture Street is another cultural street in Beijing with distinctive features, which can compete with the Shanghai New World. Every restaurant, tea house and club in the street is visited by many customers. There are art galleries and Latin dancing clubs in the ancient granaries and pseudo-classic architectural complex, with some Chinese and foreign specialty restaurants and bars as their neighbors, among which, McDonald's, Friday's, Da Dong Roast Duck Restaurant and BENZ Car Exhibition Hall have their popularity outside. The culture and arts market combine the "culture" of Nanxincang and the "business" together. Here will be the new gathering place which integrates art appreciation and delicious food.
Nanxin Granary, a historic site located on what is now Dongsi Shitiao, was a storehouse for grain meant exclusively to be served to the royal family during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. It was built in 1409 during the reign of the Yongle Emperor (1403-1424) on the foundations of the Yuan Dynasty’s (120-1368) Beitai Granary. This makes it as old as The Forbidden City. The imperial granaries measured its volume in ao, which initially meant three store rooms and later, five. In its heyday, Nanxin Granary had 76 ao, the most in a Qing granary. The structure still has nine ao, making it the largest and best-preserved imperial granary in the country. Today, the vicinity of the granary’s has taken on a new life as a "culture street": it has become a base to more than cultural organizations, artist studios, tea houses, shops and restaurants. Some portions of the granary have been converted into warehouses.
Take Bus No. 42, 113, 115, 118, 406, 70 and get off at Dongsishitiao Station.

As the third longest river in the world after the Nile and Amazon, the 6,300 km Yangtze plunges from the Tibetan plateau to flow through the exquisitely beautiful and dramatic Three Gorges region on its way to Shanghai ending in the East China Sea. A Yangtze river cruise will take you through a variety of beautiful areas in the region, giving you a closer look at the many faces of China.
Yangtze River cruise travelers will be happy to learn that the Yangtze’s Three Gorges region boasts some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes, with misty mountains, breathtaking gorges, lush green bamboo groves and serene riverbanks. Along its long and winding course lie some of China’s greatest cultural treasures and natural wonders. It bisects the country and has historically marked the division between north and south China.
The most dramatic part of the River is the Three Gorges region; all Yangtze cruise itineraries include a cruise along this 240 km stretch. The three larger gorges on the Yangtze are the Qutang Gorge, the shortest and narrowest of the three with the most spectacular scenery; the Wu Gorge, noted for its magnificent lush green mountains frequently shrouded in mist, and the Xiling Gorge, at 75 km the longest of the three, with narrow, precipitous cliffs. In addition to the three large gorges, you will take a special cruise boat up the Daning River through the Lesser Three Gorges or along the narrow Shennong Stream. Narrower than the great gorges, the canyon scenery is even more dramatic, and Yangtze River cruise travelers can see a number of historical sites along the way like hanging coffins and the ancient plank road carved into the cliffside. The Three Gorges experience on your Yangtze cruise also includes a visit to the dramatic 12-story red Shibaozhai Temple perched alongside the Yangtze, and a tour of the immense Three Gorges Dam project site and museum.
The Three Gorges Dam, was originally envisioned by China’s first president Sun Yat-sen, to help control flooding along the Yangtze River, which had been a major problem for people living nearby. The rainy season in China is May - June south of the Yangtze River and July - August north of it, creating a four-month flooding season. Touring the Three Gorges Dam is one of the highlights of any Yangtze River cruise; because of the monumental scale and ambitious nature of the project.
