Wangfujing Street

Wangfujing is Beijing's most famous shopping street, a broad, largely pedestrianised avenue near the Forbidden City lined with department stores, malls, flagship shops, and bookstores, bustling day and night. For visitors it's as much about the atmosphere and people-watching as the shopping, and it's an easy, central stroll after seeing Tiananmen and the Forbidden City nearby.

Its side lanes have traditionally held snack markets famous (or infamous) for adventurous street food, skewers of all kinds, though these have been scaled back in recent years, so check what's currently operating. The street also has a glass panel revealing a section of ancient road beneath. It's a convenient, lively slice of modern Beijing commercial life, walkable from the major historic sights.

Um pouco de história

Wangfujing has been a commercial street for centuries, named for a princely residence and a famous well ('Wang Fu Jing' meaning roughly 'princely residence well'). It developed into Beijing's premier shopping district in the 20th century and was pedestrianised and modernised around the millennium.
