Hong En Daoist Temple Doufuchi Hutong Beijing - Dongcheng District China

nightlife

It's location is well-known, just in front of the Hong'En Daoist temple in Dongcheng District offering a bohemian arts destination that mixes modern art with contemporary nightlife. The space is thoroughly eastern in design, a series of lofty open rooms with exposed rafter ceilings dotted with abstract lighting fixtures above a mix of brick or polished bamboo floors that frame austere white gallery walls. The true attraction is the mix of great house bands and rotating art exhibits that attract a cool set of Beijing locals and Taoist hipsters. 

Tips

The western ear sometimes takes a while to adjust to the contemporary Chinese rock sound, be patient and don’t lose track of the bar.

Last Word

Art lounge with live music and drinking bar houses in 16th Century Taoist temple in Beijing’s Dongcheng District.
