The new center of a city, in the eyes of most young Chinese, is often marked by its function as a commercial hub, and Beijing Sanlitun is a prime example of this.
The spatial relationship, constructed by youth, vitality, fashion and consumption, has become an integral part of the urban youth life. It is the signature footprint of the fast-paced work life, which reflects the mobile development of the city. It is also the most imaginative stage of a city. Probing into the heart of Sanlitun is an exploration of the city's multifaceted characters.
The name Sanlitun has become more or less synonymous with chic in Beijing. It is constantly changing, just like a huge bright billboard, vying for the spotlight in the torrent of rapid replacement. No matter it is day or night, amazing collisions are taking place in Sanlitun, and changes are eternal.
