Nanluoguxiang is a hutong in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. It is now a famous commercial street in Beijing. The Drum Tower and Bell Tower of Beijing are located at the northern end of Di'anmen Outer Street in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. They were timekeeping buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasty Beijing. Yandai Xiejie is known for its shops selling smoking pipes, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, stationery, and local snacks. The architectural style of the shops is simple and characteristic of northern Beijing. It is a well-known cultural street in northern Beijing and has been frequented by many cultural celebrities. Shichahai is located in Xicheng District, Beijing, opposite the back gate of Beihai Park on Di'anmen West Street. It mainly consists of Qianhai, Houhai, Xihai, and the surrounding historical sites. It is a narrow water surface stretching from northwest to southeast, also known as Shicha Sea, Shihan Sea, or Shiban Sea. The wide Shichahai is surrounded by tall willow and poplar trees, which sway in the wind, making Shichahai even more beautiful. It is a scenic area with beautiful scenery. Shichahai is named after the ten temples around it, including Wanyan Temple, Shihu Temple, Wannian Temple, Yousheng Temple, Baima Guandi Temple, Guanghua Temple, Huguo Temple, Zhenwu Temple, Huode Zhenjun Temple, and Baoan Temple. The classical buildings and gardens here allow you to experience the beauty of classical Beijing architecture. Standing on the Yinding Bridge on the east side of Shichahai and looking towards the Western Hills, this beautiful scenery is known as 'Yinding Guanshan,' one of the Eight Great Sights of Yanjing. In 1992, the Beijing Municipal Government designated Shichahai as a 'Historical and Cultural Scenic Area,' and in the 2000 selection, Shichahai was ranked first among the 25 historical and cultural scenic areas in Beijing. Tour Route: Take the subway to Nanluoguxiang Station, Exit E, enter Nanluoguxiang from the south gate, stroll and eat along the way, enjoy snacks like candied haws, braised pork, and zhajiang noodles (recommended: Zhajiang Noodles at No. 69 Fangzhuanchang), and take photos all the way to the north gate. Walk west along Drum Tower East Street to the Drum Tower and enjoy the view under the lights. Walk through Yandai Xiejie to Shichahai to see the night view and experience the beauty of classical Beijing architecture. Finally, take the subway from Shichahai Station.

While we were walking in the light rain on Nanluoguxiang Pedestrian Street, we accidentally came across a Michelin Guide sign in front of a small shop. The shop was Fungzhuangchang No.69, an original Beijing-style jajangmian noodle shop that was definitely different from the Korean version I had tried before. The star of the shop’s menu is definitely the jajangmian noodles, served in a thick black sauce with minced pork and vegetables, stir-fried hot in one dish. The taste was salty and rich, a bit greasy, but the “pickled garlic” became the table’s specialty to help cut the greasy taste. When eaten together, the tastes went well together without needing to add anything else. Almost every table in the shop ordered the same menu, which was a cute sight and made us realize that “this is a must-try”. We also tried fried rice crackers. Although the texture was a bit chewy, it added some crunchiness to the meal. Another interesting thing is that the shop also sells its own brand of yogurt, which is highly recommended for those who want to lightly cleanse their palate after a meal. In terms of convenience, we have to give it a thumbs up. Because the food ordering system at the restaurant uses a QR Code to scan on the table and then pay via WeChat or Alipay immediately. Easy, convenient, no need to waste time waiting to call the staff. #TravelBeijing

In Shanghai, one must try their Xiao Long Pao (dumplings) and Crab Roe Noodles, at Hangzhou you can’t miss the famous Beggar’s chicken and Dongpo Rou, as for Beijing, must try their Zha Hiang Mien (even the HK Superstar, Nicholas Tse also ate here. These are the Michelin Star Restaurant, top chef, great food and affordable too. If you ever missed them, you regret it.

The duck here has crispy skin, juicy meat and most importantly, a warmer to keep it warm to the last bite! Service is good, lots of interesting little bites to keep one happy, and overall, it was a great experience at 方砖厂69号炸酱面，王府井！#pekinduck #北京鸭 #beijing #wangfujing

Speaking of the most common local snack in Beijing, it is probably zhajiangmian (fried noodles with soybean paste). You will definitely see a zhajiangmian (fried noodles with soybean paste) shop every few steps you walk on the street. Even if you go to a roast duck restaurant, you will definitely be able to order this dish. "No. 69 Fangzhuanchang" is located at the corner of a small alley near Nanluoguxiang. The entire store only sells noodles with soybean paste, but from the time the restaurant opens to the time it closes, diners flock to the restaurant in an endless stream, and they don't mind sharing tables or waiting for a seat. It has received many positive reviews and is said to be the most authentic Old Beijing Noodles with Soy Sauce. Even Nicholas Tse has recommended it! The person who showed us to our seat right at the door told me he was a native Beijinger. The speed at which the noodles were prepared was beyond imagination. The noodles were served as soon as I finished speaking. The portion is large, the noodles are thick, strong and chewy. There is a lot of meat in their fried sauce and the sauce is not salty. There is Laba garlic on the table for everyone to eat, sprinkled with condiments such as shredded cucumber, radish and leafy greens, and garnished with pickled garlic and cumin chili sauce for extra flavor. As a tourist, after spending the whole morning strolling around Nanluo, it would be a good choice to transform yourself into an authentic old Beijinger and have a bowl of noodles with soybean paste for lunch. #Beijing Attractions #Beijing Fried Noodles #Beijing Good Places #Beijing Attractions #Beijing Features
