Introduction

Wangfujing Pedestrian Street is a historic commercial district located on the north side of Dong Chang'an Street in the city center. It has a history of over 700 years, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, there were eight royal residences and princess mansions here, as well as sweet water wells for the royal families, hence the name Wangfujing. Since the 29th year of the Guangxu reign, Dong'an Market has formed, and Wangfujing has gradually transformed into a commercial street, becoming one of the four major commercial districts in Beijing. Now, there are large shopping malls such as APM (New Dong'an Market), Oriental Plaza, and Lotte Department Store on both sides of the pedestrian street, offering a wide selection of international and domestic brands.
