[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Galaxy SOHO (Updated Jul)

#springwander What a amazing building, architecturally amazing. Theres alot of good food spots and cafes here including 1 or 2 cat cafes. You wont find the usual Burger King or McDonalds here. You can find every type of store or music lessons, lovely place to chill and look around. Very nice and cheap food in the food court. Magnificent architectural object by the British-Iraqi star architect Zaha Hadid, which impresses with its consistently curved shapes and is reminiscent of a hilly landscape.

#beijingtrip This year I had an amazing trip in Beijing on my way to USA. This is because I had bought my ticket to USA as departing from Beijing Capital Airport. Before we left Mongolia, we had already reserved the hotel, and that made everything so much easier. Beijing is ver big and yet fascinating city which we found 3 day was not enough for to stay and experience all the possible fun over there. The Hotel we stayed was very classic and staffs were friendly as I lost my room key, they were eager to help me and everything was solved very quick in a convenient way. Also they have pool in the hotel which was also one of the joyful things that we had. One of the funny parts was shopping, the price drop and negotiation was interesting and intense. Whoever having a trip in Beijing should visit the retail shops in department stores once, I #soho #tiananmen #trip would say!

Beijing Architecture Walk 🚶‍♂️Galaxy SOHO Galaxy SOHO is located in the business district of central Beijing. It is a huge commercial and office complex completed in the fall of 2012, with four semicircular towers like upside-down bowls connected by four curved bridges at ground level. The pattern looks like four eggs, so it is commonly called "Eggs". The distinctive exterior walls, the large atrium and the balance of the curves are like the mitochondria-like organisms in textbooks when you were a student, mysterious life forms, or space cities in science fiction movies, and are a design that is very Zaha Hafner architecture. When you experience Zaha Hafner architecture from the inside, you will notice how surprisingly comfortable it is. The windows here are gently curved, so the view is wider and more panoramic than conventional flat windows, and you will also notice that the view from each room is different. Also, when going to the toilet, you have to walk through a long corridor on the floor, which also curves gently, and it's strange how by the time you come back you feel refreshed. If the corridor had been straight, based on architectural rationality, the experience would not have been the same. Zaha's architecture is sometimes criticized as being somewhat showy, but what I feel every time I experience it is that it is more purely in line with human sensibilities. That's why Zaha's architecture is so addictive.

Beijing net red punch card! With the "space base" Galaxy SOHO box! The sci-fi galaxy SOHO is now also known as the emperor's famous network red card--of course, at night, the buildings under the lights are the space base! In fact, the best place to be with the Galaxy SOHO is the 6th floor of Chaoyang SOHO, which is just across the street. From the subway, follow the signs and walk straight. The 6th floor of Chaoyang SOHO has a huge platform, and there are several layers of glass curtain walls, which will bring the entire Galaxy SOHO to the opposite side. After shooting in Chaoyang SOHO, you can take a pat on the downstairs and walk inside the Galaxy SOHO. It is more suitable for wide-angle shooting, and can show the beauty of the building as much as possible. Also reveal another great small shooting place next to it - the Dafang Hutong, which is very close to the Galaxy SOHO, here is the appearance of the old Beijing Hutong, under the warm street lights in the alley, the background It is just the galaxy SOHO with cold light cold and warm, the contrast between new and old, very strong.

We planned a 4-day trip to Beijing, but due to a nearly 24-hour flight delay, our itinerary had to be adjusted 😞. Unfortunately, we had to skip some key places: the Forbidden City, the Olympic Park, and Beihai Park. Weather: very hot, though mostly cloudy. Expect rain showers at night or early in the morning 🌧️. ⸻ Day 1 Exhausted and disoriented after our overnight flight, we finally arrived on Monday instead of Sunday — which was a big problem because most museums (including the Forbidden City) are closed on Mondays. After checking into our hotel (just a 10-minute walk from the Temple of Heaven), we had lunch nearby and headed to Ritan Park (Temple of the Sun Park) 🌳. Later, around sunset, we explored Galaxy SOHO, grabbed some coffee, and walked among the famous Hadid “clouds” ☁️. I planned to go to the CCTV Headquarters next — but accidentally entered the TV Tower in the taxi app. We spent almost an hour in traffic getting to the wrong place 😅. That was the end of Day 1. ⸻ Day 2 A full-day private tour 🚗: • Summer Palace 🌿 • A traditional tea ceremony 🍵 • Mutianyu Great Wall 🏯 Our amazing guide drove us everywhere and even dropped us off near the real CCTV Headquarters in the evening. A long but rewarding day! ⸻ Day 3 We started the morning with a walk around the Temple of Heaven 🎋. Then: • Beijing Zoo 🐼 • Prince Gong’s Mansion • Lama Temple 🛕 • A peaceful evening stroll near the Forbidden City walls, soaking in the atmosphere of Beijing before leaving 🌇. It was a short but rich trip — Beijing left a strong impression on us. We’ll definitely come back for the places we missed 💛 #Beijing #TripReview #TravelChina #BeijingTrip #GreatWall #SummerPalace

Beijing is known for its temples and historical buildings. But it also has modern districts with new, highly unusual futuristic architecture that blends harmoniously into the urban environment. Where to go for contemporary architecture? • Sanlitun District A creative area in Beijing, full of shops and cozy cafés, as well as striking architecture. • Galaxy SOHO (Chaoyangmen Station) A futuristic shopping complex designed by Zaha Hadid. There aren’t many interesting shops here, but the architecture is truly impressive. • CCTV Building (Jintaixizhao Station) A very unusual structure and one of the most recognizable buildings in Beijing. For the best view, I recommend going up to the 6th-floor terrace at China World Mall. #localguides #beijing #scenicspotguide #architecture #china #asiatrip #beijingtrip #contemporary

📍Location: Beijing, China Beijing is not just history—this city lights up in summer with modern energy. From the glass towers of the CBD to the futuristic beauty of Galaxy SOHO, we spent our days admiring cutting-edge design and vibrant urban life. By night, Sanlitun came alive with rooftop bars, neon-lit shops, and food trucks dishing out spicy skewers. We even caught an outdoor summer concert at Chaoyang Park. Shopping, nightlife, and digital art exhibits—Beijing surprised us with how cosmopolitan and fast-paced it is. It’s the perfect for travelers who want a sleek, urban vibe with plenty of action day and night. #beijingshopping

#discoverchina #beijing #beijingcbd #nightview It’s not just a building—it’s a sculpture of the future. Tucked into the heart of Beijing’s business district, Chaoyangmen SOHO is a dream for architecture lovers. Designed by the legendary Zaha Hadid, its flowing curves and futuristic facade redefine what a city can look like. But the real magic begins after dark. As night falls, the entire structure comes alive with soft, ethereal lighting. The illuminated lines trace the SOHO’s sinuous form like a living organism pulsing with energy. Walking beneath it, you feel small in the best way—like you’re witnessing something bigger than glass and steel. It’s calm, modern, and quietly thrilling. Photographers, designers, urban explorers—this is your playground. Even if you’re not an architecture buff, trust me: it’s impossible not to be drawn in. Getting there: Take Subway Line 2 to Chaoyangmen Station, Exit G. The SOHO complex is right outside.

#favouriteitinerary Taking a bus ride into the Beijing Megacity from the Pudong Airport provides the perfect scenery of the Beijing prominent skylines such as the Galaxy Soho shopping mall, Bank of China building etc. Beijing skylines in the background of the clean blue skies is definitely one of the most scenic experiences once can witness and I would just snap pictures, not missing any one shot of these uniquely built architectures.

Inside, the vibe is sleek and modern, with a mix of high-end stores, unique boutiques, and trendy cafes. I wandered through the smooth, flowing pathways, finding cool shops at every turn. The food scene here is great too, with options ranging from gourmet coffee to authentic Beijing snacks, perfect for a quick break between shopping sprees. Galaxy SOHO is more than just a shopping center—it’s an experience.

From looking at the work in Archdaily magazine with the design work of an architect named Zaha Hadid since studying many years ago, being able to see with my own eyes, reach out, look, touch, analyze, before it becomes a work and comes out as an architectural work of this size, what must have been gone through? The team is amazing. Even though they are gone, they left work for us to study. 🤍 Zaha

I thought the Milky Way and tulips during the day were beautiful enough Until I saw the tulips lit up at night When the galaxy lights up, it feels like being in an alien movie Cool buildings with pink and white tulips Around six o'clock in the evening, the sky is particularly blue and photogenic! But the Milky Way starts to light up around 7 o'clock. The camera positions on both sides of the Milky Way are very suitable for shooting~ 👫 During the day, you can see other people, there are very few people! ! ! The location is easy to find, just take Exit H of Chaoyangmen Station and walk towards SOHO! There are both on the opposite side of the road and on the inside, and the inside is about 70% open! The opposite side is basically open

Galaxy SOHO is an urban complex building located in the southwest corner of Chaoyangmen Bridge in the Second Ring Road of Beijing. The complex features a curvilinear design consisting of four asymmetric continuous structures. It was inspired by classical Chinese courtyards. There are restaurants, shops, offices and entertainment facilities. 🍱 There are many different restaurants tho some are closed because of epidemic. And some shooed also are closed, the area is still full of people and still has all the beauty. I was there around 3 years ago before epidemic and it was a whole different vibe, many western restaurants are no longer open, unfortunately. 🥲 📸 @_ana_mee_ on Instagram #beijingtrip #soho #travelling#chinalife #urbanexplorer
