🏛️☕ Wenyue Building, once a symbol of exclusivity in Beijing's Zizhuyuan Park, has transformed into a vibrant community space offering $3 lattes and budget-friendly meals. This 2026 revamp reflects the Communist Party of China's ongoing commitment to repurposing public spaces under its eight-point rules against extravagance.
🎨 The historic venue now hosts rotating art exhibitions and weekend cultural workshops, attracting students and young professionals. 'It's like discovering a secret garden with WiFi,' says local resident Lin Wei, 24. 'Last month I attended a calligraphy class here between work meetings.'
🌳 Officials confirm this makeover aligns with Beijing's '15-Minute Community Life Circle' initiative, ensuring urban amenities remain accessible. Similar transformations are planned for six other historic buildings across the city this year.
