Wangfujing Street is the main shopping street in Beijing. This street is lined with shopping malls and department stores. Among the big ones are Sun Dong'an Plaza and Oriental Plaza.

At Wangfujing Street you can find practically anything, from clothes to antiques, books to objets d'art. There are also pharmacies, laundry and stores selling tea, silk, shoes, and more.

When night falls, Wangfujing Street comes alive with its Night Market. This is the place to go to sample or just look at the countless array of street food available in Beijing. The variety seems mind-boggling, from skewered beef to pancakes to even fried scorpions.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
