Beijing’s Moshikou Historical and Cultural Street transformed into a vibrant festival hub this Spring Festival, blending ancient charm with modern joy. Crowds wandered through lively stalls, snapped photos under glowing lantern displays, and cheered for traditional lion dances – proving history can party too! 🎉🏯
Once a key camel trade route linking the Chinese capital to ancient frontiers, Moshikou now dazzles visitors with its Ming-era courtyards and protected heritage sites. Local artisans demonstrated paper-cutting crafts while the aroma of tanghulu (candied fruit) filled frosty air – a delicious mix of old and new. 🎶🍡
‘This street’s like stepping into Beijing’s heartbeat,’ said tourist Li Wei, 24, as performers in colorful Qing-dynasty costumes paraded past. With over 20 cultural landmarks and interactive exhibits, Moshikou’s festival revival shows how China’s capital keeps its traditions shining bright. 🌟
