Beijing Food Street, which is a street famous for its food, mainly includes the "Great Food Generation" food street in Oriental Plaza, Guijie (catering street in Dongzhimen) and Xingba Road (bar street).

as the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. Nowadays, eating means not only filling the stomach, but also represents a kind of food culture. Beijing's food culture is broad and profound. It is not only its own unique food culture formed as an ancient capital, but also the essence of food from all over the country and even around the world, which has also taken root in Beijing. Restaurants with various flavors are flourishing and prosperous. In the past two years, on the basis of the transformation of Beijing urban area, a series of "gourmet commercial streets" have appeared. These food streets respectively represent a different culture and become a new highlight of the catering industry in Beijing. Therefore, if you want to eat all over Beijing, you won't be exhausted or miss any delicious food, then those famous food streets in Beijing are the shortcut choices for gluttonous diners.

Shichahai used to be quiet during the day, but it's different now. Restaurants such as Starbucks, Barbecue Season, Hakkas and Tea-Horse Ancient Road are still booming at night, while the newly opened "Nine-door Snacks" is even more lively during the day because it brings together 11 old snack bars that were once bid farewell due to the renovation of the front door.

Out of the narrow alley of Yandai Xiejie, across the Yinding Bridge, and all the way to the west, I came to Xiaoyou Hutong next to Soong Ching Ling's former residence. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and an old courtyard house was called "Jiumen Snack". Bypassing the cloister, we passed through a narrow corridor, which, like an alley outside the door, was neatly lined with tables and everyone was seated. When I went inside, the space suddenly increased. It was a serious restaurant hall, with only a few orange lights on, and the light was dim. There is another aisle on the right, parallel to the aisle just now, and there is a long queue. This is a snack street with more than a dozen old brands, such as Yueshengzhai, Tripe Feng, Tea Soup Plum, Rice Cake Money, Dairy Cow, Sheep Head Horse and Tofu Brain White. It is particularly interesting that the names of many private rooms are named after Beijing place names such as "Qianmen" and "Chongwenmen", showing the flavor of old Beijing.

to eat at Jiumen Snack, you must have a sense of time. The business hours here are from 1: am to 13: 3 pm; From 17: p.m. to 21: p.m., if it is out of date, it will be "closed". It is said that 4 people can eat here at the same time, and it seems a little cramped during rush hours. People who are so anxious to find a seat with their plates in their hands often have to stand and eat while looking for them. A staff member said that because of the small space, some old brands have reduced some dishes.
