We expected to find lots of street food in Beijing. Instead, we found organized and sanitized street food centers like the one mentioned here on Donghuamen Street - for "dainty snacks." ..The food was still good, but the servers' matching hats and shirts detracted from the atmosphere and authenticity. We are told there is more street food in Beijing in spring and summer when it's warmer. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
