Located in the hub of the embassies, the east part of Sanlitun Xiwu Street is an oasis free from hustle and bustle. The moment when catching the first sight of the golden Ginkgo trees is unforgettable.

Bright sunshine, azure blue sky and mild breeze all stay in harmony, offering an agreeable environment for Ginkgo tree watching and photo shooting.
