Local snack is a special feature of Beijing. Tourists can taste not only the local Beijing flavors, but also the snacks from other regions as well. Snack-stalls in the night markets are always popular and busy destinations.
Donghuamen Snack Night Market
By following the wafting aroma of cooking, tourists can find the most natural and simple flavors of Old Beijing in the street. Located at the northern entrance of Wangfujing Street, Donghuamen Night Market is the most famous snack streets in Beijing, popular with both locals, and tourists as well. After its pedestrianization, Donghuamen Snack Night Market became the No. 1 snack street in Beijing. When the night falls, the assortment of tasty snacks from both northern and southern China, plus the bustling crowds and rhythmical huckstering is another worthy attraction in Beijing.
Gui Street
Most restaurants in the street are open twenty-four seven. If you are a night owl, Gui Street in Dongzhi Gate, is a good place to spend the boundless night. From 2 am is usually the busiest time on this street, with the specialty being Spicy Lobster. Inside the ancient courtyard houses, under the grapevines, sitting in the old chairs and appreciating the early photos are all agreeable, but most important are the succulent dishes.
Wangfujing Snack Street
A dazzling array of snacks from all corners of China can be found here. The majority of diners here are foreign, and the cost is not low. However, if you would like to have a comfortable and relaxing meal, Xin Dong An Restaurant comes highly recommended.
