Dang Dang train at Qianmen Street in Beijing
3/20/17, it was so much fun riding on a Dang Dang train
Qianmen Street in Beijing City: Dangdang Car
Located at the central axis of Beijing City, Qianmen Street is a famous pedestrian street for shopping and sightseeing, running from the Archery Tower of Qianmen in the north to the turning of Tiantan Park in the south. It is 840 meters (about 919 yards) in length and 21 meters (about 23 yards) in width. It is composed with buildings whose styles resemble the late Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911).
The dangdang car is the old Beijing (Peking) name for trams. Because it has a copper bell attached to the front of the car, the driver will only give a “click” sound as soon as he steps on the foot pedal to remind the pedestrian to dodge the vehicle. This is also Beijing's first-generation modern transportation. In 1966, the front door tram stopped. On January 1, 2009, the remodeled Xinqianmen Street was built with tram tracks as planned, enabling the re-opening of the “car brakes” that had disappeared for 50 years.
On September 28, 2014, Beijing’s first antique tourism “tour” was opened and operated. The line will be implemented with a single ticket system, fare is ten yuan, one card credit card is valid, and the card is used for a 50% discount on the card in the initial line.

Beijing Qianmen Street Tour
Qianmen Street runs south from Tiananmen Square, just along the Beijing central axis. It is one of the last remnants of the business centers of the old Beijing. It has been transformed into a modern commercial pedestrian street, the second walking street after Wangfujing Street in the downtown shopping district Beijing.
“The Ming and Qing Dynasties” Qianmen Street was burnt down to ashes in 1900 when the Allied Forces of the Eight Powers ransacked Beijing. Physically, there is nothing left for us to retrieve.
The present Qianmen Street has been rebuilt on the historical photos and the mould of the 1920s to 1930s. The 1.45-square kilometer area has been built into four zones for culture, food, shopping and entertainment. Trolley cars are back to transport and entertain tourists.
The area is home to 50 courtyards and hutongs listed as state-level heritage sites, as well as 80 famed shops that have been operating for over a century, such as the Liubiju sauce and pickle shop, Tongrentang drugstore, Ruifuxiang silk shop, Neiliansheng shoes store and Zhangyiyuan tea shop.
