  Sanlitun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanlitun (三里屯) is a bar street in eastern urban Beijing, China.
Prior to 1949, the Beijing Legation Quarter was the center of diplomatic acitivity in the capital.
Sanlitun's bar business grew when, along with the reforms of the late 1970s and early 1980s, bar serving at first to expats and later to locals as well started to grow, first in international hotels, and then outside of hotels as well.

She hadn't worked for almost a month now, Tess had lost her job for being too permissive, and the 16 year old girl had found a permanent foreign patron to live with and provide a lifestyle for love; she was reputed to be pretty happy with her lot.
Sanlitun had incensed me when I'd been there before, I had left with a somewhat bitter impression of foreigners and a little insulted at being treated like one of them, the frenzied look the suited Americans had with their business-conference grins and expectant erections.
My return to Sanlitun was in some sense an attempt to reconcile these opposing views as well as to find the place on foot from the subway.

 A new check-out of Sanlitun
I like getting drunk and obnoxious in public as much as the next man and thus decided to sate my penchant for al fresco boozing with a visit to Sanlitun, where I could enjoy a few of the area's outdoor venues before the nip of winter set in.
After running the gauntlet of small dirty children I managed to make it to Top's roof terrace, which is now partially covered, perhaps in an attempt to get the most out of what's left of the temperate climate.
Sanlitun newcomer Shooters also has outdoor seating where you can sit back and watch Beijing's new batch of students find sport in tossing around said dirty children.

Two - the Silk Market and Sanlitun Nanjie - have been in every tourist guide-book for decades, while the third - The Lido Market - was an established favourite with residents and tourists alike in the north-eastern suburbs of Dashanzi.
Sanlitun Nanjie always was the better cousin of the nearby Sanlitun Bei Lu.
The original crowded, seedy bars on Sanlitun Nan Lu have long gone, to be replaced by a strip of grass and modern, empty cubist buildings with as much ambience as a dog's bum with a hat on.

 Sanlitun Diaries 3: All manner of transactions
Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 28, 2003 06:25 PM The fictional Sanlitun Diaries: republishing continues after a brief hiatus.
Here on Sanlitun, all manner of transactions -- legal and otherwise -- are regularly conducted, and a protocol for each of them has spontaneously evolved.
So some great classic titles end up in regular Sanlitun circulation: You'll always be able to find "The Godfather," "Apocalypse Now," "Midnight Cowboy." The suppliers to these vendors evidently have good Hollywood intelligence.

While Sanlitun degenerates into a graceless quarter of leather-jacketed touts and identical bars, Houhai is luring yuppie dollars with rather more modish venues.
