The Donghuamen Night Market, a night market outside the Forbidden City in Beijing, used to offer a variety of Chinese delicacies. Apparently the market closed in 2016 due to hygiene and noise complaints.

Great Wall of China
You can hike several different areas of the Great Wall. Do a quick search online to see how far each area is from Beijing, how busy it will be, and how much it’s been restored. We chose to hike from Jinshanling to Simatai, across both restored and unrestored sections of the Wall.
