For centuries this neighborhood housed local craftsmen and other businesses being the main commercial and entertainment spot of the ancient city. Nowadays, most of the alleys have been transformed into a massive and overcrowded shopping area with lots of touristy shops. However a few alleys still resist and they\u2019ve kept their typical way of life and the ancient houses.\r\n\r\nDashilar hosts the most intimate projects of Beijing Design Week: Dashilar Salon.\r\nAs part of the project Dashilar \u00a0Salon, more than 60 Dutch Designers were invited to wonder the alleys to find their inspiration. Their duty was to create a pop installation that fitted with their surroundings. Them and other Chinese designers share the labyrinth city spaces as they showcase your projects. Yang Meizhu Xie Jie and the Cha\u2019er and Yao Wu hutong gathered most of the exhibitions.
