1949 hidden city behind Pacific Place. Love the duck here
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.
