Regarded as the "essence of Beijing" it depicts a vivid and prosperous picture of old Beijing. After reconstruction, this 1.26-km area will retain many buildings and their antique flavor.For older residents of Beijing there are areas of the city clearly known for certain products. For cloth, one would go to Ruifuxiang Store; for shoes, to Neiliansheng Store; for hats, to Majuyuan Store; for watches, to Hengdeli Store (Hope Brother's & Co.); and for tea, to Zhangyiyuan Store.

Deep fried insects, scorpions, and sea creatures can be found, along with other animals and animal parts not ordinarily consumed as food in the west. But while these exotic snacks can be found, other more common foods, such as Chuanr (meat kebabs, commonly made of lamb) and desserts, such as Tang hu lu, or candied fruits make up the majority of the food sold on the street.Wangfujing at NightThe stores of Wangfujing Street close at 9PM, but a small night market stays open after that which caters to tourists. The night market consists of vendor stalls that stretch along a few blocks of side streets and alleys that branch off from Wangfujing Street near the southern end of its pedestrian mall section.Most of the stalls sell either souvenirs or food. The souvenirs are the same things that you see in shops all over the city, and you will have to bargain to get down to the right price. We shopped for postcards and Christmas ornaments there. The food on offer in the food stalls ranges from ordinary (ice cream) to unusual (scorpion-on-a-stick and seahorse-on-a-stick are a couple of the stranger ones that we saw).For souvenirs, try to buy them for about 1/3 of the asking price. You will have to bargain for a few rounds and walk away once or twice to get to the right price.Old-Beijing-Street in WangfujingThe Old-Beijing-Street which is located on Wangfujing Dajie (-1/F, Xin Dong AnPlaza) is an underground street built in Ming and Qing styles.

介绍中国北京的景点英语作文高一
介绍中国北京的景点英语作文高一Beijing Is So Cool!Hey guys! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a high school student in Beijing. I love my city so much and want to tell you all about the awesome places we have here. Beijing has been the capital of China for like, forever, so it's packed with incredible historical sites and fun stuff to do. Let me give you a tour!Let's start with the most iconic landmark - the Forbidden City. This massive palace complex was home to 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties from 1420 to 1912. Can you imagine living in a place with 9,999 rooms? That's just crazy! The Forbidden City covers 72 hectares of land right in the heart of Beijing. All the buildings have those cool traditional Chinese architecture designs with yellow glazed tile roofs, carved wooden pillars and decorations like dragons and phoenixes. My favorite part is the intricate designs and bright colors on the ceilings inside the palaces. They are so pretty!Right across the road from the Forbidden City is Tiananmen Square. This giant plaza can hold around a million people! There are some important buildings and monuments here like the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong and the Monument to the People'sHeroes. But the real highlight is getting photos in front of the iconic portrait of Mao Zedong hanging on the Tiananmen Gate. My friends and I like to goof around and pose like we're guarding the gate. Haha!Another must-see is the Temple of Heaven park. This was built in 1420 as a sacred place for emperors to pray for good harvests. The iconic round temple with its triple-eaved blue-tiled roof is just breathtaking. But my favorite spot is the Echo Wall where you can hear even a tiny whisper from the other side if you stand in the right spot. My friends and I spent hours whispering jokes to each other - it's hilarious!For some nature and fresh air, you have to check out the Summer Palace. This huge imperial garden dates back to 1750 and centers around a massive lake called Kunming Lake. You can rent a boat and row around the lake, passing by willow trees, jade bridges, temples and even a marble boat! At one end is the Long Corridor, a 700m covered walkway lined with 8,000 painting scenes. I love wandering through it while listening to the sounds of birds and fountains.Speaking of nature, no trip to Beijing is complete without hiking a section of the Great Wall. This amazing feat of construction snakes over mountains for thousands of miles! Theclosest section to Beijing is at Badaling, about an hour's drive away. Even though it's been reconstructed and turned into a tourist zone, it's incredible to be able to walk on this500-year-old wall. Make sure to bring lots of water and energy bars - that hike is no joke!For kids, the Beijing Zoo is the place to be. We have one of the largest populations of pandas in the world! You can watch the giant pandas tumbling and munching bamboo while little red pandas scamper around. My favorite animals are the snowy owls and cheeky monkeys. The zoo also has an awesome aquarium and reptile house with deadly snakes and massive crocodiles.No visit to Beijing is truly complete without sampling all the delicious food! Beijing is famous for dishes like juicy Peking roast duck, fresh dumplings and noodles like zhajiangmian (a dry noodle dish with a thick fermented soybean paste sauce). Street food is also huge here - grab a jianbing (crispy crepe stuffed with scrambled eggs and other fillings) or some tanghulu (candied fruit kabobs) from a street vendor. And for dessert, you must try the bingtanghulu - that's a frozen sweet yogurt bar dipped in sugar syrup!There's just so much to experience in this amazing city. The blend of ancient traditions, modern life, delicious cuisine and fun attractions make Beijing one of the coolest capitals in the world. You guys have to come visit sometime! I'll show you all the hot spots and we can make some awesome memories together. See you in Beijing!。
