Wangfujing Snack Street 王府井小吃街
Wangfujing is best known as a great shopping area, but as a mealtime approaches, you’ll see people flocking to the Wangfujing Snack Street, just off the main shopping street. Because of the number of tourists that come to the area, prices can be a bit high, but vendors will lower them if you start bargaining. Snack vendors here sell old favorites as well as more exotic dishes: just watch the locals and you’ll know what to get.

Gui Jie 簋街
The name literally means “Ghost Street,” but far from being ghostly this street is packed and lively 24/7. When the red lanterns light up the street is officially opened for evening dining, but many of the street’s restaurants and vendors are prepared to serve you at any time of the day or night, making it the perfect place to satisfy a midnight craving. Full fledged restaurants, snack shops, and regular shops cram the street, and exotic, mouth-watering smells fill the air. Come whenever you can, but the best time to experience Gui Jie is definitely at night—don’t be surprised if, after dropping you off, your cab driver joins you for bite to eat!

Just walk down the street from vendor to vendor sampling the different delicacies and you’ll soon find you’ve enjoyed a hearty meal.
