[2025 Beijing Hotels] Travel Guide for Bejing Heyuanzhixin courtyard（Wang Fujing，Tian'anmen） (Updated Jul)

Heyuan Zhixin Courtyard is a three-section siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) originally built during the Ming Dynasty. After 600 years, it still preserves the layout and charm of traditional northern Chinese residences. In the mid-20th century, it was one of the residences of Mei Lanfang, the grand master of Beijing Opera, with every brick and tile soaked in the artistic atmosphere of cultural celebrities. Today, after professional restoration, the courtyard maintains its ancient architectural style while incorporating modern livable design. It strictly follows the traditional Beijing courtyard regulations of "ceiling, fish tank, and pomegranate tree," with three successive courtyards creating a rare "living cultural heritage" in the core Wangfujing area. All guest rooms offer a "small but exquisite" luxury experience. Courtyard suites feature private yards and are furnished with Ming and Qing style furniture and custom bedding. Themed rooms celebrate "Mei School Beijing Opera" and "Hutong Memories," with walls decorated with hand-painted opera costumes or old Beijing maps. Family rooms preserve the original wooden sloped ceiling structure with skylights bringing in natural light, perfect for families with children. All rooms are equipped with King Koil mattresses, BOSE sound systems, and handcrafted intangible cultural heritage toiletry sets, with some rooms featuring private soaking tubs. Breakfast is served in the courtyard, featuring traditional Beijing specialties including douzhir (fermented mung bean milk), jiaoquan (fried ring-shaped dough), and sugar-oil cake, with Western light meals also available. Afternoon tea includes Beijing Opera facial mask latte art paired with the imperial court snack "Beijing Eight Pieces," creating a ceremonial experience. Main meals are prepared by hutong chefs, offering either Tan Family Imperial Cuisine or Mei Family Banquet. The hotel enjoys an excellent location, within walking distance of Wangfujing Commercial Street, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and Jingshan Park. The surrounding area is filled with restaurants ranging from time-honored establishments to trending spots, satisfying diverse culinary preferences. Heyuan Zhixin Courtyard is not just a place to stay but a cultural feast that transports you to the Ming and Qing dynasties. It combines the traditional Beijing atmosphere of "ceiling, fish tank, and pomegranate tree" with modern refined hospitality, truly a hidden paradise in the heart of Wangfujing.

"The spirits leaping on the rooftop are messengers sent from the hutongs." Under the faint moonlight, a plump tabby cat steps on the bluish-gray tiles and leaps into the courtyard. It nimbly jumps over the carved roof ridge, its tail drawing a lazy arc in the evening breeze, finally stopping by the pond in the center of the courtyard—when it lowers its head to drink, the water reflects the upturned eaves and the cat's twitching whiskers, capturing the poetic charm and agility of old Beijing. "A Cat-like Slow Life in a Courtyard House" Pushing open the vermilion courtyard gate is like stepping into a time warp. Every brick and tile here is steeped in centuries of stories, and the cats are the "wild owners" of the courtyard. ✨ **Encounter the Cat Manager**: It often curls up on the wicker chair in the corridor to bask in the sun, or squats by the Taihu stone, gazing at the koi, and occasionally jumps onto the roof to look at you～ ✨ **Hidden Hutong Secret**: Opening the wooden lattice windows of the guest rooms reveals the courtyard. Wake up to watch cats walking on the tiles and enjoy the moon reflecting in the pond in the evening. **Sky Tea Garden × Starlight Banquet**: Ascend to the terrace and overlook the rows of hutong rooftops, with cats weaving around your feet, while holding a cup of spring tea and waiting for a sunset in the colors of the Forbidden City. 📍Address: No. 5 Dengcao Hutong (Cat Spotting Tip: Please close the courtyard gate gently and do not disturb the dancers on the tiles) > "We are not passing guests of the hotel, but continuers of the hutong stories." —A guest who filled their phone's memory with cat photos 🌟 👉Message me for one-click navigation and enjoy the spring water with the tabby cat manager～

You have to stay in a siheyuan at least once in your life, right? Walk through the corridor and past the Chuihua Gate to reach the courtyard, where pomegranate branches are hung with festive lanterns. The white walls and green bricks complement the red and green colors. Enter the side courtyard to see the spiral staircase leading to the second-floor terrace, a 360-degree view terrace surrounded by ancient trees. There are 11 guest rooms, each with a unique name and poem. The high-quality room facilities are comparable to those of a high-end hotel. It is close to the Temple of Heaven, truly at the foot of the Imperial City. It is said to be the only three-entry siheyuan in Beijing that has been preserved since the Ming Dynasty. It is natural and simple. Many celebrities, such as Mei Lanfang and Kuomintang generals, have lived here. 📍Detailed address No. 5, Dencao Hutong, Dongcheng District. Beijing Heyuan Zhixin Siheyuan (Wangfujing Tiananmen Store) 🚉Transportation guide Dongsi or Dengshikou subway station, 700 meters on foot 👍Recommended check-in points Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Beihai Park, Nanluoguxiang, Yonghe Temple 📝Note tips The tea room afternoon tea can be experienced separately. Although there is floor heating and a small sun in winter, you still need to wear a coat; the tea room is suitable for small meetings or gatherings; it is difficult to park in the hutong, so it is recommended to ride a bike to experience the beauty of Beijing hutongs. If you are driving, you can park at the nearby "Hui Shang Gu Li", which is about 500 meters away, 8 yuan/hour.

In the bustling city, I found a quiet courtyard, as if I had traveled through the long river of history and came to the ancient Siheyuan. Here, every brick and tile tells a story of the past; every corner is filled with a strong traditional culture. In this tranquility, the soul is at peace. Walking in this ancient Siheyuan is like traveling back to Beijing a thousand years ago. Every winding and twisting hutong carries a long history and cultural tradition. On the stone road outside the courtyard wall, you can occasionally meet leisurely residents who are chatting in groups, or looking for the long-lost old Beijing snacks and unique fireworks in the streets and alleys.
