Well-known to those living in Wangjing, Nanhu Market has been undergoing a facelift recently. It’s still located under a long blue roof in the heart of Wangjing, but the interior has been shifting to incorporate a cleaner, higher-end market look. Fruits, vegetables and other ingredients are still all available, though, along with all the other goodies you’ve come to expect at a Chinese market. Prices are solidly cheap without bargaining, and the selection of produce available is good, though not as diverse as Sanyuanli. Count on getting your seasonal fruits and veggies but not avocadoes or dairy products.

Those shopping for Korean food and ingredients will find Nanhu especially helpful. Because Wangjing is the unofficial Korea Town of Beijing, you will find a lot more of a Korean influence on this market than you’ll find elsewhere. Both the ready-to-eat food and the fresh ingredients lend themselves a bit more to the Korean end here.
