Home CategoryTourismGuijie StreetPlay1.5 minsGuijie, or Ghost Street, is known for its vibrant atmosphere and numerous restaurants that are open late into the night.ShareBeijing's most famous spot for a round-the-clock dining experience, from breakfast to lunch, dinner and most notably supper, is Guijie Street, also known as Ghost Street. It's probably the brightest place in Beijing after dark, even though its name has a rather ominous tone. As traffic grew, enterprising vendors set up stalls, and later shops on both sides of the lane. Street hawkers came out at midnight and went home before dawn.
Doing business in the midst of all the coffin shops and morticians under the dim halo of kerosene lamps, the vendors looked like ghosts. That's supposedly how Guijie first got its name.
Ghost Street is now known as a paradise for the catering business. Today, the 1.5-km long alley is crowded with more than 150 shops, more than 90 percent of which are restaurants.
Its proximity to the Worker's Stadium where thousands of football fans and concert-goers gather periodically is a good guarantee that the restaurant owners at Guijie never have to worry about empty seats.
