Sanlitun

Sanlitun (Chinese: 三里屯; pinyin: Sānlǐtún; literally: “three li village”) is an area of the Chaoyang District, Beijing containing many popular bar streets and international stores. It is a popular destination for shopping, dining and entertainment.

The area has been under almost constant regeneration since the late 20th century as part of a citywide project of economic regrowth. It currently houses many bars and clubs popular with both locals and foreigners as well as international brand-name stores such as Uniqlo, American Apparel, Apple Inc. and Adidas. It is notable for housing the largest Adidas store in the world. In recent years, the Taikoo Li Sanlitun (三里屯太古里) shopping mall has become a popular destination for locals and foreigners alike.
