China Day 3

First 2 days were weekends, factories were not running, so experienced the Beijing Smog for the first time that Monday.


Went to Wangfujing. Stopped by the snack street. Thought there was a nice variety of food to choose from here. It was only the next day that I realised everything here was overpriced.
 

Live scorpions that would be barbequed. All of them were still moving (except for the dried seahorse). Regretted I did not try any.





Had the famous Quanjude Roast Duck for dinner. Approx 230yuan for the full duck set for four people. It was good, but didn't think the price was justified. A bit overpriced and overhyped.
