The station next to Dongdan is Wangfujing, which was the dream street I had ever wished to visit before I came to Beijing to work. It was named after a well of a prince of the Qing Dynasty and waling down this street can help you experience traditional Beijing culture and modern Beijing culture. The snack street on its western side is the one you shall no miss.
