The area of Da Zha Lan in Beijing is located in the southwestern corner of Tian' anmen Square, covering Qianmen Avenue in the east, Nan Xinhua Street in the west, Zhushikou Xi Avenue in the south and Qianmen Xi Avenue in the North and is under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu District. The typical layout of diagonal streets in this area was formed naturally as people traveled in between the new and old capitals after the Middle Capital of Jin was destroyed and the Main Capital of Yuan was rebuilt. Unlike the neat and orderly design of hutongs in the Inner city, Da Zha Lan has a freely developed grassroots style suitable for the outer part of the city and bears witnesses to the long history of this area.
