[2025 Beijing Restaurant] Travel Guide for Wangfujing Snack Street (Updated May)

How to sightsee China’s capital without overkill: Day 1: Qianmen & Dashilan Landed at Beijing Capital Airport, took the slick Airport Express to the city—jet-lag-proof! Subway dropped me at HomeInn, a budget chain with all the basics. Tired but curious, I hit Qianmen and Dashilan streets for a quick China vibe. After dark, they glow—grab a snack! Day 2: Forbidden City, Jingshan, Wangfujing Started with the Forbidden City (UNESCO gem). Early rise beat some crowds; tip: book tickets online (English site, Visa worked). Queues can confuse—staff help. Then, Jingshan Park for a breather and view. Starving, I hit Quanjude on Wangfujing for unreal Peking duck. Day 3: Lama Temple, Confucius Temple, Hutongs Slept in (duck coma!), then Lama Temple—active monastery, incense galore. Next, quiet Confucius Temple with birds and hutongs nearby. Perfect for a chill wander and bite. Day 4: Temple of Heaven, 798 Art District Mixed it up: Temple of Heaven (architecture win) in the AM, then 798 Art District—old base, now artsy. Loved the contrast. Day 5: Great Wall Saved the best: Great Wall at Jinshanling (165 km out). Off-season train (Beijing North → Gubeikou) was scenic. Hike was epic—bring cash, mobile pay’s spotty. Final Thoughts Immigration asked if I’d stay in Beijing the whole trip. Thought, Why? Now I see—5 days wasn’t enough. Start here, though! 😉 Enjoy! #aprilblooms #beijing #beijingtrip #beijingtravel #qianmenstreet #qianmen #forbiddencity #jingshanpark #wangfujingstreet #quanjude #pekingduck #lamatemple #confuciustemple #hutongs #templeofheaven #798artdistrict #greatwallofchina #jinshanling

Be#BeijingDuckRestaurant Since I'm in Beijing, I have to try it myself~~ I ate at the famous Jeonjudek. I ate at the Wangfujing branch. First of all, you can't use QR codes, but there's a menu with pictures, so you can tell the staff and order. I ordered half of the Peking duck and ate shrimp and mushroom cream duck soup. The Peking duck was really oily...but it was delicious when I dipped it in sugar and ate it. If the duck meat you eat in Korea is light and chewy, Peking duck has a lot of oil, so when you eat it with vegetables in a pancake, it's similar to Vietnamese spring rolls. I think it's okay to try it once. The shrimp dish was the delicious stir-fried shrimp we know, and the mushroom cream duck soup was not ours, but it had a mushroom soup flavor, so it didn't smell and was delicious.

#OverseasFlightEvent #ChinaTravel #China #Beijing #Beijing #BeijingTravel #BeijingTravel Tanghulu is a famous Chinese dessert that has also become very popular in Korea. Unlike the Korean-style Tanghulu made with various fruits, the original Tanghulu in China uses Sanjia, a fruit that is easy to digest. It looks like a small apple, but it tastes sweet and sour without being too sweet, so it tastes like a side dish. The sugar coating on the outside is not as sweet as in Korea, so even people who don't snack can enjoy one wonton hulu. :)

#timetotravel I have been to this place three times since I am an adventurous person when it comes to trying out different types of food. This snack street in Beijing will offer you just that. They have barbeques of insects and there are some normal foods too if you don't want to try any and if you just want to see the exotic ones. The Snack Street is right by Wangfujing shopping area so very convenient after you are done with your shopping. There many cafes, souviner shopes and restaurants on the street. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #chinatravel #foodie
