There is an old word from ancient Beijing “Wealth in the East: Nobility in the West.” Zhongtang hotel was built toward the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was the former residence of the prime minister in feudal China during the Qing Dynasty. It has more than five hundred years of history, and has experienced vast changes. Today, it lies in a common residence area, and is adjacent to the intriguing Winter Palace (shichahai). You can enjoy the wonderful sunset view and set your eyes on the White Tower from the cock loft. In addition, it takes only a few steps to the Xidan commercial street. Whether doing recreational activities, shopping, or trying out new stuff, it is the best place to enjoy modern life and experience its outstanding culture.
