Donghuamen Night Market was a night market located in the northern end of Wangfujing in Beijing, China. Dong Hua Men is written δΈœεŽι—¨, the name of the East Gate of the Forbidden City.

Description

The market hosted a row of unusual food stalls. Chinese food delicacies were available, including items such as sheep's particular parts, offal soup, deep fried crickets, centipedes, silk worms, scorpions, and lizards. Western foods such as spring rolls, dumplings, crab cakes and candy fruit were for sale. Stalls labeled their selections in both Chinese (Mandarin) and English. The food was displayed raw and can be deep fried in a wok upon request.
