Where are the best candy shops and snacks in Beijing?

Daoxiang Village is the most delicious, hygienic and famous in Beijing. I recommend the following snacks in Daoxiang Village to be tasted: apricot cake, bean paste cake, lotus seed cake, butter jujube paste cake, pumpkin cake and beef tongue cake. I promise to let you eat one and want to eat a second one. Remember to buy it at Daoxiang Village Store. Banners are absolutely not allowed in the street:)

Beijing snack

People who have been to Beijing are interested in Beijing snacks when it comes to eating, except Quanjude roast duck and steamed dumplings.

Snacks are different from snacks and meals. Snacks are foods used to "fill your stomach" or eat before meals. The characteristics of flavor snacks are: first, rich flavor, bright local colors, distinct sweetness and saltiness, and obvious taste stimulation; Second, the texture is pure, or crisp and delicious, or soft and smooth and refreshing; Third, the temperature is extreme, and some are extremely hot. They only taste when they are hot, such as white soup chop suey and hot fried cake. Some of them are really cold, such as Jiang Mi Gao Liang and bean jelly. Fourth, the price is cheap, and they are all delicious and not expensive.

Beijing snacks can be divided into three types: Han flavor, Hui flavor and court flavor. Cooking methods include steaming, frying, frying, searing, frying, roasting, rinsing, brewing, frying, stewing and boiling, and there are about one hundred kinds.

Friends who come to Beijing, I will tell you a few places where you can taste Beijing snacks: First, Nanlaishun, located in Xuanwu District, Beijing, has more than 70 kinds of special snacks; The second is Long Fu Temple Snack Bar in Dongcheng District, which is famous for its halal snacks. The third is Fangshan restaurant in Beihai Park, which specializes in serving palace-style snacks. The fourth is the snack street of Donghuamen Night Market, a popular snack.

Some people compare Beijing snacks to the "living fossils" of the capital for thousands of years; Yi Shu, a famous writer, succinctly summarized the connotation of Beijing snacks with the words "snacks are great". There is a lyric that says "ninety-nine snacks in Beijing are not enough to eat." To tell the truth, I have lived in Beijing for more than 40 years and haven't tasted all the snacks in Beijing. I still have time to eat slowly.
