Wangfujing

This is a very famous shopping street in Beijing, and as such, it is a very popular tourist destination, so we decided to check this place out.  It was indeed packed with tourists!

Yup, there's a lot of people

There were a lot of interesting things we saw, and I think pictures are a lot more effective than words here:

Entrance to the "Snack Street"

Mmmm... starfishes, sea horses, and LIVE SCORPIONS!

Lots of small things you can buy

A golden cat that shakes its paw at you

Buy your very own terracotta soldiers!

Of course I went in there

This cool toy car drives on the wall... too bad it's 1000 RMB

Buy your very own 京剧 (Beijing opera) masks!

Interesting...
