Both the main entrance and the street opposite are excellent locations for taking photos. 4. Old Belgian Embassy - Although you can't enter the old embassy opposite the church, the scenery under the wall is equally captivating, as if you've stepped into a Miyazaki comic. 5. Ming City Wall Ruins Park - Your exploration of Dongjiaominxiang comes to an end.

Exquisite Private Banquet (Saite Store) - After visiting the above-mentioned places, you must be hungry. Eating roast duck is a must-do in Beijing. This Beijing Cuisine. Exquisite Private Banquet (Saite Store) is a favorite among old Beijingers, and I highly recommend you try it. The roast duck here has crispy skin and tender meat, which will definitely leave you wanting more. In addition, the caviar roast duck is another dish not to be missed.
