Some people belittle Poetic Dwelling Cafe because it is too small, said to be the smallest cafe in Beijing, only three tables, can seat seven or eight people, some people praise his kindness, the owner's kind service, seems to be more like a warm housewife greeting friends, some scholars discuss the hardships of life and the guidance of the gods, calling people to find their way home "Our residence is plagued by housing shortage. Even if this were not the case, our dwelling today would be tormented by work, disturbed by profit, confused by entertainment and pastimes... too many desires, what others have to have, why is it worse than others? So, everyone is similar, with similar desires, do similar things..."There are backpackers who take this as a stop and share more insights with others: " When time, money, work, become an excuse to hinder your travel, the only preparation you have to do is to convince yourself that freedom should not be tied down, we have too many imaginary enemies on the way to freedom; Travel should not be designed to arrange, there will be changes and surprises at any time." But again, travel is not about pretending to wander, nor is it about looking for trouble to die, and when you have decided to go, the most difficult things in travel are solved." Someone and the store learned to distinguish, taste, roast coffee, and release the most beautiful flavor of coffee beans.

The word "" is really rare. It is said that the original name was "Huangshi Zang" in those years. Emperor Jiajing accidentally wrote "Huangshi" when he personally inscribed the plaque.
