Beijing snacks can be divided into three types: Han flavor, Hui flavor and court flavor. There are various cooking methods such as steaming, frying, frying, branding, frying, roasting, rinsing, brewing, frying, stewing and boiling, and there are about a hundred kinds of them. Some people compare Beijing snacks to "living fossils" of the history of the capital for thousands of years; Shu Yi, a famous writer, succinctly summarized the connotation of Beijing snacks with the words "snacks are great".

Several traditional Beijing snacks are concentrated in: First, Nanlaishun, located in Xuanwu District, Beijing, where there are more than 7 kinds of special snacks; The second is Longfu Temple snack bar in Dongcheng District, Beijing, which is famous for its halal snacks. Third, the Fangshan restaurant in Beihai Park specializes in supplying palace-style snacks; The fourth is the snack street of Donghuamen Night Market, a popular snack for the people.

The well-known street that has emerged recently is Houhai Snack Street (the former Qianmen Snacks moved in). Houhai is located near Deshengmen and Drum Tower, and is connected with Qianhai (also known as Shichahai). There are many foreigners visiting this area, and a bar and a street are gathered along the edge of Qianhai. Houhai, which corresponds to Bar Street, is located in the depths of Xiaoyou Hutong on the west side of Soong Ching Ling's former residence, which is the newly opened Beijing snack street. It is said that it is a snack street, but it is actually a transformation of a large quadrangle. Among them, there are 12 famous time-honored snacks in Beijing: the collection of Xiaochangchen (mainly stewed series), the wallet fire in doorframe hutong (mainly fried liver), the Muslim snack Maji Yueshengzhai (mainly sauced beef and mutton), bean curd white (mainly stewed bean curd) and sheep head horse (mainly mutton). Enyuanju (focusing on fried bumps) and Tianqiao Tea Soup Li (focusing on tea soup) and other time-honored snacks, as well as Zhang Yiyuan (focusing on tea and drinks), whose business is relatively deserted.

The famous snack bars in the four districts of the city are:

Xicheng

Huatian Huguosi Snack Bar: opposite to the People's Theater in Huguosi Street, and a new branch (formerly Laishun in the north) has been opened in the west of Dajie Road at the west exit of Huguosi Street, which is close to Mei Lanfang's former residence.

Nanchang Street Muslim Restaurant: West of the south side of Xihuamen. There are some snacks and fried belly, fried cakes and fried bumps. Like Enyuanju's, the taste of fried bumps is handmade and stir-fried (many shops increase the pot by mechanism and taste like leftovers), but the disadvantage is that the side dishes are not rich enough, so it is best to add diced cucumber and green beans.

Dongcheng

(Note: a shop selling fried cakes next to the Yangxiezi store in Xisi Road West is also very popular, and every time it passes by, there is a queue.)
