About the space

Xanadu Why Space is a roughly 3,500-square-meter cultural venue in Laiguangying, Chaoyang, Beijing. Guided by the idea of making the neighborhood warmer, it brings public reading, exhibitions, food and drink, salons, and community programs into one everyday place.

The venue supports Next Token as its recording partner. Its open bookshelves, shared tables, and community-living-room atmosphere give the Weekly roundtable a real public-cultural setting.
