1949 hidden city behind Pacific Place. Love the duck here
HOW TO Get to 1949: The Hidden City in Beijing
You can find 1949 (part art gallery, restaurant and bar) tucked behind Pacific Century Place (太平洋百货) in Sanlitun.
Cool place, but a bit tricky to get to. There is a subtle classiness and formality about the place. Their use of glass, wood and heavy doors give it an air of a cool place to hang out. I’ve eaten a lot of Peking duck, and the duck I had at their restaurant ranks up there with some of the best I’ve had.
Make sure to call ahead and make a booking.
By Subway
Tuanjiehu station (Tuán jiē hú / 团结湖) on Line 10, exit C. Make a u-turn out of the station and walk straight. Cross the intersection, then you’ll see Pacific Century Place to your left. You’ll see a Mercedez-Benz store, turn left before that and you will see a sign that directs you the rest of the way.
