Anche dopo il restauro, le strade intorno a 前门大街 (Qianmen Dajie), specialmente l'area nota come 大栅栏 (Dazhalan, pronunciata spesso dai pechinesi come Dashalar) rimangono custodi del vero spirito popolano pechinese, con ristorantini di piatti classici, negozietti di cianfrusaglie e tanta tanta gente affaccendata nelle proprie cose.

Even after the restoration works, the streets around 前门大街 (Qianmen Dajie), especially the area known as 大栅栏 (Dazhalan, usually pronounced Dashalar by Beijingers), remain the custodians of real Beijingers' spirit,with little restaurants in which to eat traditional dishes, small shops selling odds and ends, and a lot of people busy with their daily life. Beijing, China, August 2011

修复后前门大街地区周围，尤其是大栅栏，依然保持着它的老百姓精神监护人作用。这里有不少能吃到传统菜的小饭馆，有买零碎东西的小店，能见到好多为自己日常生活忙碌的人们。北京，2011年8月
