Qianmen Street 前门

It is a 840 m long pedestrian street for shopping and food. There are many time-honoured brand (lao zihao) shops here. This is a title granted by the Ministry of Commerce. The bronze statues here depict the time-honoured tradesmen. This is the must see place for us as we were here three times.










We finally got to try Tanghulu

Tong Ren Tang is a lao zihao









This is not a time-honoured brand
