Beijing food guide.

👍 Must-try food in Nanluoguxiang, Beijing!|||I went to Beijing with my friends and we agreed to eat roast duck.🦆 After some research, we finally chose Jingmo Beijing Restaurant. We not only visited the culturally rich Nanluoguxiang, but also tasted authentic Beijing cuisine. It was a win-win. Jasmine Roast Duck💥 The restaurant's signature dish, order it as soon as you enter the restaurant. The jujube wood roasted duck is crispy and not greasy, with a golden red color that makes your mouth water. The duck pancakes are kept warm on a jasmine tea bowl, and are served with cucumber shreds and various side dishes. Crispy, fragrant, moist, and tender, with layers of flavor, and the jasmine fragrance cuts through the grease. Beileye Roast Meat🥩 Made with Angus beef, the meat is full and juicy. The meat juice is tightly locked in, and the large slices of beef are extremely fragrant and tender. When you bite into it, the juice seeps out and flows into your mouth, bursting with flavor. 🐟 Sweet and Sour Crispy Fish The fried fish has a crispy skin, and is topped with sweet and sour sauce. The taste is sweet and sour, and the fish inside is soft and firm. Very fresh, it really hit the spot. 🪵 The restaurant's original wood style decor is simple yet sophisticated.👍 The waiters are very enthusiastic and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. Restaurant: Jingmo Beijing Restaurant - Jasmine Roast Duck (Nanluoguxiang First Store) Address: 50 meters east of the north gate of Nanluoguxiang (No. 98 Gulou East Street)

You can choose any hutong, such as Nanluoguxiang or Yandai Xiejie, and take a leisurely stroll, appreciating the beauty forgotten by modern life. The Forbidden City: Gazing at History A trip to Beijing wouldn't be complete without visiting the Forbidden City. The weathered walls have witnessed the rise and fall of many dynasties. In autumn, the sunlight on the golden glazed tiles is particularly dazzling. Standing in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, you can almost hear the echoes of history and feel the solemnity of the imperial city. Remember to look up; under the blue sky and white clouds, the flying eaves and corners have a unique charm. Prince Gong's Mansion: The Secret of the Feng Shui Treasure Not far from the Forbidden City is Prince Gong's Mansion, the former residence of Heshen and a model of a Qing Dynasty mansion. In autumn, the mansion is covered in golden ginkgo leaves, creating a warm atmosphere. Every corner of the mansion has a story. Find a quiet place to sit and imagine the grandeur of the past. Beihai Park: Leisurely Enjoyment Finally, take a walk to Beihai Park, where the rippling lake water and the occasional leisurely ducks will calm your mind. Standing by the White Pagoda, looking into the distance, you can see the entire city of Beijing. At that moment, all your worries seem to be blown away. Feeding the koi by the lake and watching them scramble for food will also bring you endless joy. During your business trip, Beijing's autumn gives you a reason to rest. Here, you can temporarily forget the pressures of work and simply enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

Early autumn in Nanluoguxiang

I have always liked Nanluoguxiang. Although it is often criticized for being overly commercialized, I still like it because I don't inherently dislike commercialization; I just don't like monotonous commercial models. However, I feel that the shops on Nanluoguxiang are gradually changing, and the design of the stores, especially the window aesthetics, is constantly improving. The main street is a bustling commercial pedestrian street with all kinds of shops, including Western and Chinese restaurants, various drinks, snacks, souvenir shops, and clothing stores. Many shops have their own unique characteristics. The longest-standing shop on this street is probably Zamo Restaurant. I visited it more than ten years ago and thought the small courtyard was well utilized, with creative dishes that incorporated various cuisines. The overall taste was pretty good. The restaurant is still standing strong today, though I haven't tasted the food recently. I might try it again when I have time. Another favorite of mine is Beiping Coffee, a garden-style café that left a good impression on me. The old Sanyuan Meiyuan and Wenyu Cheese seem to still be around, and many new stores have opened, including Tangfang Coffee, which I also like. The main street is bustling, while the small alleys are very quiet. The cool and pleasant weather of early autumn is perfect for strolling through the alleys, watching the sunlight filter through the trees, seeing the small flowers and grasses growing from the corners of the roofs, spotting the quiet cats lying in the corners, and observing the elderly or children slowly wandering through the alleys. On one side, there is the bustling commercial atmosphere, and on the other, the peaceful and stable life. There are also the former residences of famous people scattered in various corners. Every time I visit, I have different experiences and always find a corner I like.
