大柵欄 (Dashila)

大柵欄(Dashila) is the old town which had a big fence as the name.
It is a byroad which turns to the west from Qianmen Street.

This is what is called a house of ill fame, and the liquor shop and bars which placed prostitutes were located in a line old days.
For keeping the peace, otherwise possibly it may be for the prevention from the escape of prostituts, it seems that the fence was shut at night.
Now, there is no image of those days.

Many tourists are just enjoying shopping these days.

Oh, again!

My friend bought us 包子(Baozi=Chinese Bun).
狗不理 is a long-established restaurant of the bun speciality representing China in Tianjin in China.
Empress Dowager Cixi ate the 狗不理 bun which a government official brought her from Tianjin, and she admired the delicious.
After that, the restaurant won renown......

The head store of 内聯昇 is there.
