Wangfujing

In the Qing Dynasty, ten aristocratic estates and princess residence were built here, soon after when a well full of sweet water was discovered, thereby giving the street its name "Wangfu" (Prince's residence), "Jing" (Well).

Many exotic foods are served on Wangfujing snack street.

Modifications in 1999 and 2000 made much of Wangfujing Street pedestrian only (aside from the tour trolley).

The 2011 Chinese pro-democracy protests were planned to take place in Wangfujing.

The food stalls serve a variety of common and exotic street food, including chuanr (meat kebabs, commonly made of lamb) and desserts, such as tanghulu or candied fruits on a stick.
