If you have followed this blog at some point you know that one of my favorite places to visit while traveling is a market. Beijing was no different. The markets are the best places to enjoy the “life” of a city.

When you stand outside a street vendor like this, it makes our North American dining experience seem so .. pedestrian.

A few black and whites.

It also seems like their food is fresher. Farmer to market …. perhaps it is different in January.
