Ghost Street (Guijie), a 1.5km, 24-hour food alley inside Dongzhimen where red lanterns stay lit until dawn. Spicy crayfish and spicy frog with a beer, the loudest and most alive part of Beijing at night. It gets even busier after midnight.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Ghost Street (Dongzhimen Inner Street)簋街 (东直门内大街)

    Street food · 20 min stay

    Beijing's signature 24-hour street, where over 150 restaurants stay open until dawn. The night view of red lanterns lit in rows is a sight in itself. Taking a queue ticket at a shopfront and walking the street is the Ghost Street entry ritual.

    22:00~02:00

  2. Walk 4 min
    2

    Huda Restaurant (Ghost Street Flagship)胡大饭馆 (簋街总店)

    Restaurant · 70 min stay

    The undisputed king of Ghost Street spicy crayfish. Even at 11 p.m. the wait can easily be 100 numbers deep. Spicy crayfish and 'chanzuiwa' (spicy frog) are the signatures. With hygiene, flavor and scale all covered, outsiders can dine with confidence.

  3. Walk 5 min
    3

    Huajia Yiyuan (Ghost Street Branch)花家怡园 (簋街店)

    Restaurant · 50 min stay

    A courtyard-style garden restaurant to settle into and finish once you've filled up on crayfish. You can calmly eat palace-style Beijing dishes, duck and skewers late into the night, a 'sit-down finish' course contrasting with the rowdy crayfish joints.
