Sanlitun

Sanlitun is known for its fashionable dining and nightlife scene. Upscale Chinese restaurants serve crispy roast duck, global bistros and pastry cafes offer European fare, and tiny shops sell noodles and stewed pork buns to revelers spilling out of the area's karaoke bars, cocktail lounges and raucous dance clubs. The massive Taikoo Li mall is home to international chain stores and contemporary outdoor sculptures.
