Unlike the usual coffee shop, this coffee shop is a walking cafe transformed from a car. The owner of this mobile cafe is a handsome young man from Tianjin, Zangqing. The reason why the cafe has sprouted into a walking caf é with cars stems from his love of cars and travel, as well as his learning when he was young.

There is a "Zaxidler Cafe" near the Hongjing Road Mountain area in Shidu Town, Beijing. Unlike the usual coffee shop, this coffee shop is a "walking cafe" transformed from a car.

The owner of this mobile cafe is a handsome young man from Tianjin-Zangqing. The reason why he sprouted to transform a "walking cafe" with cars stems from his love of cars and travel, as well as the fact that he learned car maintenance when he was young. So I opened a mobile cafe.

Zaxidler Cafe is very well-known in the outdoor small circle of Beijing. People often come to this cafe on weekends to chat with Tibetan youth and drink a cup of coffee from the mountains. This coffee shop brings them not only delicious coffee, but also the beauty of nature and a way of life that escapes the city and returns to nature itself.

This cafe in Zangqing not only has American style, latte and mocha, but also recently introduced soft drinks. At the age of 21, Zangqing entered an Ace Caf é cafe in Beijing and learned it from a barista invited from South Korea. After four years of study, Zangqing thought that the state he wanted more was "on the road", so he resigned decisively, bought a car, "Da Bai" and transformed it into a cafe himself. It is called "Zaxidler Coffee Shop", which means good luck. So he started a new life in this car alone.

This mobile cafe has little space and is mainly divided into coffee area and living area. The coffee area is very simple, hang a menu board outside the car, then hang a gray cloth with the word "coffee" facing the trunk, and put a professional coffee machine, that's what the coffee area is all about.

On the other hand, there is a bed and a cabinet in the living area, with shade curtains hanging from the windows, and three or four small lights hanging from the roof of the car for lighting. On the other side is a mini-refrigerator with many vegetables and fruits in it. Whenever a friend came to visit him, he would take out the oven and folding chair from the car, move a small table and sit around with everyone to enjoy the delicious food.

He is often asked if he doesn't feel lonely when he runs a cafe on the road all the year round. Zangqing said that his communication with people has never been broken, because every day he will meet many guests and nearby villagers, and there will be new encounters and exchanges every day. When the sun goes down, it is his own time. He likes to use this leisurely time to read books and watch the sunset.

Because this cafe is open on the mountain, there is often no signal, and now many people like to pay with mobile phones, with little cash on them, and sometimes they encounter the situation that they cannot pay without a mobile phone. So Tibetan green people hang a sign outside the car that says "no network for credit". Customers can take a picture of the QR code of Tibetan green after buying coffee, and then leave their name and phone number on the account book, and then transfer money after going down the mountain. Zangqing said that everyone will transfer money in time when they return to places where there is a network, which is the trust between people.

Zangqing is very "casual" when running this cafe. He will give 30% discount to passing hikers, 10% discount to motorcyclists, and free to nurses who happen to come back from fighting the epidemic in Wuhan. This is why Zangqing is bringing happiness to the people around him in his own way, and makes many people rethink what their real ideal life is like.
