On January 31, the last night before the Sanlitun bar street is vacated for renovation, many people made a special visit to take photos for memory.

Bars in the capital city’s popular Sanlitun bar street, one of the busiest parts in Chaoyang district, will close for renovations as the venues are not suitable for operation due to safety reasons, according to local authorities. As part of the renovation, other types of businesses such as coffee shops and restaurants offering healthy food will be opened on the street, according to media reports. Photos: Cui Meng/GT
