Every time you pass by Xizhimenwai Street, you can see the Gothic spire of the Beijing Exhibition Hall. I recently had time to go shopping and found that this place actually covers a large area. It is a complex integrating exhibitions, performances, shopping, dining, and leisure.
The North Exhibition is a pure Russian classical style building complex. It was designed by the Central Design Institute of the Soviet Union. It was completed in October 1954. It was called the Soviet Exhibition Hall in the early days of its construction. It was later renamed Beijing in 1958 (the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations). The exhibition hall is the first large-scale comprehensive exhibition hall in the People's Republic of China.
The three splendid doors have peace and friendship written on the left and right sides, and the shining red star of our party in the middle. On the four pillars in front of the gate stand representatives of the people at that time: doctors, workers, farmers, and teachers.
Entering the front hall of the exhibition hall, the upper dome is sky blue and decorated with white Russian patterns.
The industrial hall with a curved top is the largest main hall in the exhibition hall and is mainly white.
The internal photos come from friends. The day I went there was a last-minute decision. There happened to be no exhibition and the main museum was closed. When you go there, you should first check whether there is an exhibition on the "Enjoy North Exhibition" official account.
The Moscow Restaurant on the west side of the Beijing Exhibition Hall opened at the same time as the exhibition hall in October 1954. It is affectionately called "Lao Mo" by consumers and can be regarded as a "Beijing time-honored brand".
In the past, the restaurant's early customers were mainly Soviet aid experts, officials stationed in China, and intellectuals who had returned from studying in Russia. Later, due to the higher prices, it was mainly patronized by cadres and their children. It was one of the few Western restaurants in Beijing in the early days. Now there is a Xiao Mo restaurant next to it.
The Moscow restaurant appeared in several nostalgic youth films such as "Sunny Days", "Blood Romance" and "Days Related to Youth", which shows its status in the world at that time.

Continue walking north and you will encounter the "Russian Premium" Life Experience Center. This is the largest Russian product exhibition and sales center in Beijing.
Experience high-quality products from Russian-speaking countries without going abroad.
It is divided into two floors. The first floor is for snack foods, drinks, daily necessities, Russian bakery and other products. The second floor is a cultural exchange exhibition area, with Russian books, handicrafts, oil paintings, amber and other special artworks.
There is a dazzling array of products here, including popular snacks from Russia such as purple candies and chocolates, as well as classic vodka, specialty wines, famous beers and natural juices, as well as big legba and Russian ham, as well as daily necessities from the Russian-speaking area, all of which are popular products. . I'm more interested in this pickled cucumber.

On the second floor is the Russian Contemporary Youth Art Exhibition held by the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing. All the works on display come from artists from different cities across Russia, with different styles and painting techniques.

At the back of the Beijing Exhibition Hall is the Beizhan Theater, which has a lot of exciting performances. Buy tickets on the "Beijian Theater" official account of "Enjoy Beizhan".
There are performances by Happy Twist in August, and there are flash sale tickets for some performances, which is pretty good.
The Hou Lake behind the North Performance is connected to the Nanchang River, which is a royal water royal road that flows through the Zoo, Zizhuyuan, and Wanshou Temple directly to the Summer Palace.
There are not many people by the river, and this place is quite secluded. It is mainly occupied by nearby residents walking here and visitors coming to see the exhibition. Compared with the Beijing Zoo, which is separated by a wall, it is much quieter.
The construction of the Beijing Exhibition Hall has something to do with the Soviet Union, and there are many Russian-style shops concentrated there. It is indeed the most Russian-like place in Beijing. If you are interested, please come and have a look.
