Nanxincang, Imperial granary in Dongsi Subdistrict, China

The Nanxincang complex encompasses multiple traditional buildings with stone foundations, wooden structures, and preserved architectural elements from imperial China.

Constructed in 1409 during Emperor Yong Le's reign, this granary stored grain supplies for Beijing throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The restored buildings now house art galleries, a Kunqu opera theater, and multiple restaurants that represent different aspects of Chinese gastronomy.

Located at 22 Dongsishitiao, the site accepts cash payments and stands within walking distance of the Dongsishitiao subway station.

The complex transformed from an imperial granary to an armory during the Republican era before becoming a modern cultural center.
