Spring warmth and blossoming flowers, these days in Beijing have seen a drop in temperature, but the weather is still good, and many parks have gradually opened, with tourists visiting parks to enjoy the spring gradually increasing.

So, how is the situation with the commercial streets? What are the measures?

Over the weekend, I conducted an on-site visit to Beijing Hutong (Beijing Fawang) at Fawang Street.

Coming out of Fawang Station, you can see that the one-day tour ticket booths have not yet opened, tourist buses are halted, and many buses are parked on both sides of the road.

As a new internet celebrity hotspot in Beijing, it boasts Beijing's first Starbucks flagship store, pageone hipster bookstore, Poly Cinema, and the first Uniqlo hotel, along with many popular restaurants. In the past, it was bustling and vibrant.How is the business recovery now?

Beijing Hutong requires visitors to register upon entry, with unified entrances.

The entrance connecting Fawang Street with Beijing Hutong is currently inaccessible, with entry now unified from the west entrance. The underground parking lot is also temporarily unavailable for parking, with a temporary ground parking lot located 200 meters away from the entrance.

To enter Beijing Hutong, you need to register your information and take your temperature, all done in the nearby white tent.

voyage coffee – spaced seating

measures

1Register name and phone number, enter time, and measure temperature at the entrance, provide disposable hand sanitizer.

2Seating is spaced out, with a greater distance between tables, management is stricter than Starbucks.

3Reminders are given to guests upon entering, requiring the use of masks for all activities other than dining.

4All drinks are served in take-away cups.

Outside, there is a distance-marked queue line, but this coffee shop isn't very crowded, and I recommend their tiramisu, which tastes very good.

Starbucks flagship store – still highly popular

measures

1Limit the number of people dining inside.

2Register name and telephone, measure temperature at the entrance.

3Service staff wear masks and gloves.

4Drinks are served in takeaway cups.

5The seats have been increased in spacing, all facing the same direction, not sitting facing each other. However, in reality, friends are still sitting together and chatting.

If there were no restrictions on seating, the occupancy rate would likely reach 100%, with service staff guiding people in and out. If the number of people inside exceeds the limit, you will have to queue outside to enter.

pageone bookstore – fewer people taking photos

measures

1Only enter through the south gate.

2Register name and phone number, measure temperature upon entry.

The bookstore is fully open, with the second and third floors of the children's area and the third floor coffee area. I rarely see empty places when I come, and now the people are quite few. If you come to the bookstore, you can bring a pair of disposable gloves to enjoy browsing books.

pageone bookstore's third-floor floor-to-ceiling windows are a famous photography spot with a particularly good view. Now, fewer people are taking photos, and more people are reading.

Currently, most of the restaurants in Beijing Hutong have opened.Fawang Street visitors are not many.

Last week, a friend said that the visitors to Ossen were queuing for several hundred meters outside waiting to enter. It seems that the appeal of enjoying spring flowers and scenery is more attractive.
