Directions

Beijing's most famous shopping street, a broad pedestrian avenue of malls, flagship stores and a well-known snack lane just east of the Forbidden City. It is convenient for browsing, bookshops and a taste of the modern city. It is touristy and commercialized, so treat it as an easy stroll rather than a cultural highlight.
