The Olympic is coming in 8 days. We are all excited about that. For foreigners, it is a good opportunity to experience Chinese culture and Chinese cuisines. Below are some traditional Chinese food echinacities.com recommends that you should have when visiting Beijing.

Peking Roast Duck and dumplings are two representative Beijing food. Quanjude was established in 1964 and has been the most famous roast duck shop in Beijing. But if you ask some Beijingers, they would recommend you to go to Bianyifang whose roast duck is cheaper and more delicious. Dumpling stores can be found everywhere in Beijing and Hongmao dumplings has gained reputation among Beijingers. You can have a try.

Chinese food has been famous for its diversity and different places have food of different tastes. But here in Beijing you can find whatever taste you want to have. Recently spicy food from Sichuan and Guizhou has been popular among Beijingers because in their words, eating spicy food can release their pressure. There are many Sichuan and Guizhou spicy food restaurants in Beijing streets. If you like spicy food I highly recommend you to have a try!

There are also many Muslim restaurants in Beijing. If you are a Muslim, you would not have to worry where to eat.

There are so many delicious Chinese food in Beijing that I can’t list all of them here. If you want to know more, you can go to ecihnacities.com for more information.

I really want to visiting Beijing.

And also check snacks in Beijing. jian bing guozi(vegetables wrapped in an omelette wrapped in a pancake), the classic Beijing breakfast snack is definitly worth trying.For cheao and filling suppers, try streat food like huntun, basically wonton soup, and xianr bing or the diverse varieties of noodles. Plenty of street food will be found at the night markets, which begin operating around 5pm and start to shut down around 10pm. More info check yoyoor.com

Hi all,

I have never been to Beijing but I will definately go there in future. thanks for telling me this great site.

Hi all, I've been to Beijing before but not now due to the Olymypic Games...I agree that one should try its local food, especially the Peking roast duck, it was being slice into thin crisp pieces, yum..yum... you could see more images of all those local food at a4blog.com Beijing’s Local Food. Besides, one could backpack in Beijing too. The public transportation make it convenient for me to travel around. But you also must not forget to bring along guidebook in case. i bought a Beijing guidebook from a4trip dot com. It was really a helpful guidebook. It's brief but clear enough to make me plan for my journey...hope that it helps!!

Similar to the 5 Olympic rings from which they share color and inspiration the Fuwa will be the 2008 Beijing Olympics Official Mascots. They were introduced at the Workers' Gymnasium in Beijing. These Olympic mascots will be carrying the message of friendship, peace and well wishes from China.
