Wangfujing Dajie, Name Card of Beijing's Commerce

Top commercial areas
Wangfujing Dajie, Beijing

Wangfujing Dajie is a bustling pedestrian shopping mall and a place where old and new blend perfectly: it's a wonderful place just to sit, sip on a cool drink and "people-watch," because people come from all across China and from around the world.

As one of the oldest shopping streets in Beijing, Wangfujing features many "Time-Honored Brands" stores; most are more than 100 years old. International brands, fantastic shops, cinemas and restaurants, bookstores and an old, refurbished Western-styled church epitomize modern Beijing.

In the early evening, check out the "snack street" on the north side of Donghuamen Dajie, east of Wangfujing Dajie. Check out Wangfujing's bookstore to get the latest best-selling novels, works of masters of literature, language books and audio support to read while traveling through the country’s vast expanses after you leave the capital.

Address: Wangfujing Dajie, Dongcheng district

Traffic: Subway Line 1, Wangfujing Station; Bus Nos 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 37, and 728
