The Venue: Langyuan Station Riverside Cultural Plaza
This year’s Belt & Road Food Fest returns to the same beloved venue as last year: Langyuan Station Riverside Cultural Plaza. However, the space has been given a brand new upgrade and now features a scenic platform overlooking the Ba River. With blue skies, grassy lawns, river views, pedestrian streets, and a sunken plaza, it’s the perfect setting for autumn.
Langyuan Station itself is a cultural and creative landmark featuring both industrial and international styles. Its location by the Ba River and adjacent to the greenery of Jiangfu Park, make it a place where you can enjoy nature and pop-up cultural activities at the same time. It’s home to an array of businesses and industries such as art museums, cafes, home design, trendy fashion, upscale dining, sports, and film and has become a popular hotspot for shopping and socializing in Beijing.
