Beijing has two famous pedestrian streets \u2013 Wangfujing Street<\/a> and Qianmen Street<\/a>. They are both commercial streets lined with plenty of stores and restaurants. Wangfujing Street has more department stores while Qianmen Street more international brand special shops and boutiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Wangfujing and Qianmen are a great place for people watch, experiencing Chinese culture and atmosphere. Strolling along the streets in the evening is a pleasant familiarization and sightseeing walk, getting closer to the local people and culture and having your eyes satisfied with the multi-colored streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now follow me to have a night view of Qianmen Street. The 800-meter street is located along the north-south axis, just on the south of Tiananmen Square<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk south through the massive Arrow Tower on the south of Tiananmen Square. Below is the picture of the Arrow Tower\u2019s east side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
