Dong Lai Shun is the most famous and oldest traditional Muslim restaurant serving Mongolian hot pot in Beijing.  With 102 years experience, Dong Lai Shun is famous for their mutton dishes.

The restaurant uses a big traditional copper pot heated by charcoal. At first I didn’t know what was the internal heat source until I asked the waitress to show me. The charcoal provides a higher temperature cooking the meat more evenly.

Donganmen Night Market’s Street Food of Wangfujing in Beijing

Around 6PM, this street turns lively and vibrant because the Donganmen Night Market opens. The street transforms into a tidy row of food stalls. I’m guessing that there must be more than 100 stalls. Surprisingly, the food stalls are lined up very straight, clean, and lit very well. They offer a big variety of street food. I recommend trying their local specialties!
