Wangfujing is one of the famous local snack street and night market, in Dongcheng District Beijing. Today we walked from where we stayed and took the subway to Wangfujing...
St. Joseph Chruch
The majority of the main area is
pedestrian area and very popular shopping place for both tourists and locals.
Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty there have been commercial activities in
this place. In the Qing Dynasty, ten aristocratic estates and princess
residence were built here, soon after when a well full of sweet water was
discovered, thereby giving the street its name "Wang Fu" (princely
residence) "Jing" (well).
Wangfujing is now home to around 280 famous Beijing
brands, such as Shengxifu hat store, Tongshenghe shoe shop, and the Wuyutai tea
house & the New China Woman and Children Department Store helped
established by Soong Ching-ling (Madame Sun Yat-sen) are also located on the
street.
The Wangfujing snack street, located in hutongs just west
of the main street, is densely packed with restaurants and street food stalls.
it was way too much to handle for both of us, and its a set for 2 person... or is it a set for 2 giants??
all and all... it was a worthwhile trip down town!
