王府井大街
Wangfujing Street is Beijing's iconic 900-meter pedestrian shopping artery, blending 700 years of history with modern retail and street food. A must-visit for its lively atmosphere, snack stalls, and proximity to the Forbidden City.
Go on a weekday morning before 10 AM to avoid crowds; the street is free and shops open by 10. For the best photo, stand at the southern end on Chang'an Avenue and look north at sunset. On the snack street, only buy from stalls with high turnover—avoid food that's been sitting out.
Street open 24 hours; shops typically 10 AM - 10 PM; snack street 11 AM - 11 PM
Free entry (CNY 0). Food and shopping costs vary.
