We Went to Rediscover Beijing and Traveled Back in Time: This is How it Was Half a Century Ago!

2021 Silk Road Rediscovery Tour of Beijing: A Centurial Journey of Progress, hosted by the Information Office of Beijing Municipality and organized by the CRI Online of China Media Group, was held from June 6 to 11. During the activity, Venezuelan vlogger Rafael and other participants visited Wangfujing Heping Guoju, where they saw how Beijing was half a century ago. Strolling along Yangmeizhu Xiejie, they came across with Caicifang Workshop, a cultural and creative store. In "Guangyi Plus" Public Cultural Center, they learned paper cutting, zongzi preparing, and experienced a charming Beijing brimming with creativity and folk customs. Rafael released this video on YouTube through his account, Rafa Goes Around, which has attracted wide attention from overseas netizens.
