One G.A.F.B. Cafe in Beijing - 在北京逃離北京的神祕空間 ZARAH Cafe

I bet this had happened to you as well - you were traveling in a beautiful city, maybe its streets and buildings were so full of history, maybe its natural scenery was so astonishing, maybe its art galleries and museums were so intoxicating … you loved this city so much… but, yes, but, after so many terrific days imbued in this heaven of yours, you found yourself so fed up and screaming “enough history/trees/paintings! enough!!” and you just wanted to get away from it for a short while.

That was my experience in my last Beijing trip. Despite all the fantastic and archaic atmosphere, I need some break from it. And that was when I found this cafe, ZARAH Cafe, on the street. It seems to be the number one recommended cafe in Trip Advisor. It is so not Beijing. It is even a little bit like Bali.

Yeah, this was just what I needed - a Get-Away-From-Beijing cafe. Have a look and you will know what I mean. It was relaxing, sit-back, refreshing and comfortable. We ordered lemonade and soda water with lemongrass or something like that. Had enough caffeine so some refreshing drinks went well with the tone of the cafe.

我的北京行，造訪了一家很特別的咖啡廳，ZARAH，她很不北京，甚至有點熱帶慵懶的清涼。在我們吃也北京，聽也北京，看也北京的幾天後，這家咖啡廳正好是我們需要的，短暫拒絕北京元素的地方，不要胡同，不要烤鴨，不要歷史，我只要清涼與放鬆。在這裡，我們得到了足夠的能量，之後，出門，繼續北京！
