I have read about this place called Wangfujing from a blog. It is the most famous shopping street in Beijing. And apparently a hyped-up long avenue of street food on-a-stick; from testicles, intestines, scorpions, and all sorts of creepy crawly bugs.
WANGFUJING
Pretty Women
While we were inside the mall strolling, this really beautiful sexy young Chinese girl on a cute short skirt with her long legs, long silky hair, about my height, 5’8” on heels, came to approach us. She casually asked us if we were touring the city. We must have been the typical look of a new soul in the area.
Located in the Dongcheng District.
We got off at Wangfujing subway station, coming from the Olympic Green Park. We exited the subway station up onto a shopping mall called The Oriental Plaza. Huge and glittery.

We ate at a food court called the Food Republic. For tourists like us, it's a bit confusing its centralized cashier.
From the several food stalls, you choose a meal or food item. Then note the price. Go and pay at the cashier first. Then redeem your receipt back to the food stall. Too many going-back-and-forths.

She continued to strike a conversation with no sales pitch attached. Such young, pretty and sexy Beijinger come up to you just like that and start cozying up, I thought was kinda unusual.
It wasn't long before I began to sense what she was up to. She offered to accompany us at our hotel; have a drink or two.
Not part of our itinerary so I turned her down ever so nicely and then we left.
I felt bad that I was distracted by the whole thing. I would have love a photo taken with her; she was really pretty, too.
We encountered two more of these girls through out the night in Wangfujing. But rejected both pretty quickly.
We exited the mall to the street of Wangfujing. A long and brightly lit street with big department stores, souvenir stores plus the largest outdoor TV screen in Beijing.

Like a Movie Set
We continued on walking. Just having a grand time. Smokes escaping from manholes, much like scenes of New York or London streets in the movies.

Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire
I found this street vendor selling the biggest roasted chestnuts I have ever seen. And since it was Christmas and all, I had to buy some, adding more yuletide spirit to what have become our most wonderful evening in Beijing.

Still, we have not found the bugs-on-a-stick street vendors, but we were far more enjoying the street sceneries.
Hallmark Greeting Card
The street was decked with jolly holiday lights. Beautiful colorful neon ad signs. The place was looking more like a Hallmark Christmas greeting card. I could just walk the street all night. Everyone seemed to be soaking up to the holiday spirit. If not because of worrying of the last trip schedule of the subway train, we could have stayed much much longer.
