Visitors to Beijing are more likely to take a tour of the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, the Summer Palace and city gates. But for those who want to know about the past and present of Beijing, the Qianmen area is the perfect place to go.
Qianmen Street is the main street in the Qianmen area. The street was called Zhengyangmen Street in past history, but in 1965, it got the name Qianmen Street. Walk along the street, and you can find some time-honoured brands(老字号)like Quanjude and Duyichu.
