SLT's Courtyard No. 4 Reopens; Four Seasons, Universal Stay Shut
And just like that, the Courtyard No. 4 complex in Sanlitun has reopened to the public today, Oct 27. This comes after the complex – which houses a number of popular restaurants including Home Plate BBQ, QMex, Panorama and others – was shut unexpectedly yesterday morning so that Covid testing could be administered. Unfortunately, Universal Studios remains closed, and we have received word that the Four Seasons Hotel in Liangmaqiao is also, in fact, off limits.
Sources at Home Plate and QMex told us late last night saying they’d finally been given the okay to reopen after a full day of testing and waiting. When asked why the complex was suddenly shut for testing, though, they said there had been no official explanation.

It also appears that Joy City Chaoyang has also reopened, with a quick search on Dianping showing that waimai for restaurants within the mall is operating as usual.
A few people we spoke to who went to Universal recently said they’d been asked to self-isolate at home until Oct 30 or Nov 1 at the latest due to a case having been found at the amusement park
This notice popped up on the Universal mini program on Oct 26
While we’ll have to wait for word on Universal and the Four Seasons' reopening, it looks like Halloween festivities taking place at venues within Courtyard No. 4 will indeed be happening. A bit of good news ahead of the holiday weekend.
