Beijing By Night
Between 10pm and 5am, the city is alive and thriving. Night markets, busy streets, lights everywhere — life doesn’t stop in Beijing.

@Seraphine — China is a great place to be in right now, it has a lot of energy and so much is happening. But this is mostly true for the cities… the Western part of the country isn’t so lucky.
@sir jorge — Oh, tell me about it, I’m the biggest fan of Mexican markets.
@princesse ecossaise — Nah, you can have… deep fried caramel apples instead if you like.
@Bluefish — It is an great treat
@kyh — I haven’t taste this one I think, but I love skewers in general.
@johnada — See, in China, you could go out and eat something right now!
@shionge — I still trust Chinese food. Not so much the processed food but anything fresh.
@Scarlet — I’m looking into direct flights Miami — Beijing
@JoAnn’s D Eyes/Holland — Thank you JoAnn for your praise on my pictures!
@Priyank — Not even, these pictures are just point and shoot. I don’t have the patience for a tripod!
@Aiglee — Thank you
@Linguist-in-Waiting — I have never heard that before actually! Most shops tend to open later than in the West. A lot of small businesses (and there are a lot now!) just open whenever it’s busy, which is usually a lot. Only franchises and posh shopping malls are 9:00am to 9:00pm.
@Seraphine — Oh tell me about it! I’m not great at translating, even mentally, and I always think in whatever language I’m using, which is confusing!
@RennyBA — It’s a great place, very different from Europe. It’s more latin in some kind of way.
@khengsiong — Thanks! Where did you eat the best Beijing duck? I find Quanjude okay, if a bit expensive. I found another great place in Wangfujing too.
See our likings are worth it! If you were not night owl; you would have missed this great night
Beijing looks great at night.
Zhu,
I ate the ‘better’ Beijing Duck near my hotel, but I no longer remember the place.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! Simply divine!! Every shot captures the magic of the location! What camera do you use, it really handles night time so well. The header photo is like something out of a travel magazine… totally perfect and so buzzing with electricity.
I also really like the market scenes. I love walking around markets late at night.
Zhu, you really are the master of travel photography! Thank you so much for sharing them with us xxx
