Last Updated: 2025/08/21, Compared with Nanluoguxiang and Wudaoying, the Guozijian Street area shows a quiet and low-key temperament. Through the vicissitudes of the archway, the noise and impetuosity on the street seem to be isolated all of a sudden, leaving only mottled tree shadows and red walls sketching the outline of history. In the afternoon, the sun shone on the red doors and windows of the cafe, and two blond foreign girls sat quietly at the door.

Compared with Nanluoguxiang and Wudaoying, the Guozijian Street area shows a quiet and low-key temperament. Through the vicissitudes of the archway, the noise and impetuosity on the street seem to be isolated all of a sudden, leaving only mottled tree shadows and red walls sketching the outline of history. The afternoon sun shines on the red doors and windows of the cafe, and two blond foreign girls sit at the door quietly sipping coffee and reading books, looking very serious. This is the nearest cafe to the Imperial College, coupled with pure espresso and Indian yogurt, attracting a lot of foreign tourists.

The lush and quiet hutong of the Imperial College

Next to the cafe is the Imperial College, the highest university in ancient China. Perhaps because of the Imperial College, the cafes here seem a little academic and arrogant. Not far away, the old people were talking about chess all over the world, and the lazy puppy fell asleep at the feet of its master. The rich classical atmosphere seems to be close to the public and ordinary people.

The two foreign girls next to them are learning Chinese, and the books are covered with notes. I think it is really an elegant thing to come to such a place to learn Chinese and experience Chinese culture. The ancient royal school and foreign friends who worked hard to learn Chinese culture intertwined in this cafe in a seemingly parallel space.

Xiuguan Coffee has three tables outside the house. It is the best seat on a sunny afternoon, but it is a little close to the street. There are often foreigners in the store who write and draw books and books. The editor noticed that many of them are learning Chinese. In fact, they might as well chat up with them, which is very helpful to the improvement of both sides' foreign language proficiency.
