Wangfujing Street
王府井
Beijing's most famous commercial pedestrian street, home to the Beijing Department Store, the Dong Tang Catholic church and the apm mall.
Wangfujing Street runs from Chang'an Avenue in the south to Dengshikou in the north, and it is Beijing's oldest commercial street. Along the street are the Beijing Department Store, Wangfu Zhonghuan, apm, and Oriental Plaza. Dong Tang, also known as St. Joseph's Church, is a popular photo spot. At the northern end are the National Art Museum of China and the Commercial Press's Hanfen Lou bookstore. The former Wangfujing snack street has been converted into indoor food spaces such as Heping Guoju. It is an open street, good for an after-dinner walk. Take Metro Line 1 to Wangfujing Station or Line 8 to Jinyuhutong Station.
