Yin San Douzhi (Tiantan)
尹三豆汁（天坛店）
A small breakfast spot near the North Gate of the Temple of Heaven, where locals line up early in the morning for douzhi, jiaoquan, and madoufu.
Located at No. 176 Dongxiaoshi Street, about 150 meters north of the North Gate of the Temple of Heaven. Open only for the morning market and before noon, this is an authentic Old Beijing breakfast spot where locals queue up early. The signature douzhi (fermented mung bean milk) has a milder sourness, a thicker texture, and a sweet aftertaste. Served with crispy, non-greasy jiaoquan (fried dough rings) and lightly salted pickles, it is relatively friendly to first-timers. You can also order madoufu (mung bean dregs), shaobing (baked sesame cakes), miancha (seasoned millet mush), and chaogan (stewed pork liver) here. The average cost is about 15 CNY per person. It has been recommended by the Michelin Guide for several consecutive years since 2020, making it a perfect breakfast stop before visiting the Temple of Heaven.
