On September 27 , a new commercial landmark — the Datunli commercial street (also known as "The TUN")— opened in Beijing's Chaoyang District. Spanning 30,000 square meters , it integrates hotels, dining venues, stores, and more, offering a vibrant and lively urban experience for local residents .
Located at the heart of the Ya'ao business district , this commercial street neighbors the iconic Bird's Nest (National Stadium) and Water Cube (National Aquatics Center) with several transportation options available: It's just 200 meters from Anli Lu Station of Subway Line 15 and 700 meters from Datunludong Station of Subway Line 5 ; The bus stops nearby offer direct access to the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube, and it's only a 30-minute drive to the Beijing Capital International Airport .
The basement level features a lifestyle market, with more than 10 time-honored brands such as Daoxiangcun (a famous pastry maker), Tianfuhao (known for its cured meat), Liubiju (famous for its pickles), Niangao Yang (a rice cake maker), and Yueshengzhai (known for its halal cured meat), plus a variety of food offerings from around China. There is also a branch of Yigongli Supermarket, along with shops providing services like laundry, tailoring, and small repairs, so as to create a "15-minute community convenience zone" for locals.
The first and second floors focus on catering services , including a late-night food area that hosts popular brands such as Starbucks, Tokugawa (Dechuanjia, a Japanese restaurant chain), and Nanmen Shuanrou Hot Pot. Visitors also have the chance to try traditional Beijing-style Noodles with Soybean Paste. The third and fourth floors provide hotel services , with branches of brands like Atour Hotel, Crystal Orange Hotel, and Hi Inn already in operation. With these establishments, Datunli is expected to become a unique lifestyle destination highlighted by boutique hotels, cuisines from around the world, Beijing's time-honored brands, a market with living necessities, a food court, bars, and KTVs.
Datunli's late-night food area has something for everyone. Visitors can try noodles, barbecue, desserts, and other specialties from across China. Several brands have established their presence there, including Beipinglou (famous for its Beijing-style dishes), Kaorouliu (known for its traditional Beijing-style barbecue), Tokugawa, and Guanshichiba (known for its skewers).
The Late-Night Dining and Bar Street is the first themed bar street in the Yaao Business District, adhering to the "coffee by day, cocktails by night" concept — a perfect place for young people to balance work and leisure.
