Qianmen Ghost Stories?
So, I'm heading to Qianmen next month, always loved the architecture. My grandma, who lived through the Cultural Revolution, told me some WILD stories about spirits haunting the old alleyways there… more
That's awesome! Your grandma's stories sound incredible. Qianmen definitely has that old-world vibe that lends itself to spooky tales. I haven't heard specific stories tied to a particular tea house, but the whole area around Qianmen is steeped in history, and a lot of that history isn't exactly pretty. Think about the sheer number of people who lived and died there over centuries – that's a lot of potential for lingering energy, you know? I wouldn't expect to find a formal "ghost tour" specifically focused on the alleyways, but you might get some interesting info from local guides or even just chatting with people in the area. Older residents might be willing to share some local legends. It might be more about soaking up the atmosphere and letting your imagination run wild – the narrow streets and dimly lit corners at night certainly help set the mood! Bring a good flashlight though; those alleys can be pretty dark!
