Favorable prices. People who work or live in Beijing often go to restaurants with friends or business partners but high standard restaurants are neither relaxed nor economical. But a meal in Guijie with several friends, including a dozen of beers and scores of lobsters will only set you back about 100 yuan.

Entertainment. On the night that Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Olympics, all Beijing's shops were closed except those in Guijie St. The whole street was illuminated by 100 stores working busily all night. About 5,000 people descended on the stree singing, drinking, hugging and crying for happiness. About 5,000 kg of "spicy peppery little lobster" were scoffed that night.

A place for exploration of you career. For many years Guijie St has provided a living for people who have nothing to do with eating. Girls selling roses, peddlers vending cigarettes and cds, and taxi drivers cruising for fares all add to the streets' liveliness.

The most vivid reflection of nightlife in Beijing. It's not easy to find somewhere that's open all night after a busy work day in this cold, windy city. Guijie Street's 100 restaurants serve specialties from Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, and Hu'nan provinces including everything from hotpots to barbecues making it a favorite spot of night owls. . During weekends, thousands of people indulge themselves in beer and "spicy little things" until midnight, and then go home to sleep.
