Located just northeast of Tiananmen and the Forbidden Palace, \u738b\u5e9c\u4e95 is a bustling area of \u8001\u5317\u4eac (old Beijing) coupled with massive and newly constructed mega-shopping complexes and hotels. For most people visiting or \u53c2\u89c2 (c\u0101ngu\u0101n) Beijing, you&#8217;ll probably find yourself lodging, dining and being shuttled through this area often.<\/p>\n<p>The prices are a little steep compared to the rest of Beijing, but nowhere else can you find such an eclectic mixture of foods you didn&#8217;t think existed. I talked about \u4e32\u513f in much detail already, but there is much more to \u738b\u5e9c\u4e95 than just meat on a stick.
