🍽 Where to eat
- Donglaishun Restaurant (138 Wangfujing St) — Famous for traditional copper-pot mutton hot pot. It's interactive and fun for kids to "cook" their own food.
- Wangfujing Snack Street (Off Wangfujing St) — For the brave! Try candied hawthorns (Tanghulu) on a stick—a sweet treat kids usually love.
🎁 Souvenirs
- Gongmei Mansion (200 Wangfujing St) — The best place for high-quality traditional crafts, silk, and "Beijing-themed" LEGO sets.
- Use the subway to avoid the 5 PM traffic rush. Jingshan Park is best visited just before sunset for the golden glow over the Forbidden City.
