Located at the south section of the Beijing Central Axis, Dashilan commercial area is home to many time-honored Chinese brands such as shoe maker Neiliansheng, silk and fabric store Ruifuxiang, foodstuff company Daoxiangcun and pharmaceutical company Tongrentang. Cai Wenke, an inheritor of making techniques of Neiliansheng handmade cloth shoes, is now exploring new possibilities of the products by combining the traditional designs with modern elements. He hopes that more people could wear the cloth shoes and walk on the Beijing Central Axis to experience the colorful Chinese culture. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Saturday announced the inclusion of the Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital, into its world heritage list.
