Wangfujing at that time can't be recognized now. At that time, when the Beiyang government drew a detailed map of Beijing, T-shaped Street was divided into three sections, of which the southern section was named after a well and the northern section was Wangfujing Street, so the whole street was later called Wangfujing Street. Today, Wangfujing in Beijing is a holy place for many people to shop and relax. Although it has lost its initial prosperity, it is still one of the popular business districts.
Wangfujing was not so hot when it came up. In fact, before the earliest Jin and Liao dynasties, Wangfujing was just a little-known mountain village, desolate and sparsely populated. Later, some people gradually settled in the village, and it was not until Kublai Khan made Beijing the capital that this place flourished. It was not called Wangfujing at first, but T-street.
Until the Ming Dynasty, Wangfujing area was included in the construction site of Wang Fu, where ten Wang Fu Streets were established and used for a long time. Later, a well was dug in Gonggong * * for all Wang Fu people and residents here, regardless of ownership, which became a symbol of this street. Later, when dividing this street, it was divided into three sections, the northern section of Wang Fu Street, the middle section called Bajiaogou, and the southern section was famous for this well, which was natural.
Today, Wangfujing not only represents Wang Fu, but also is the memory of many people. It is also a tourist attraction for many foreign tourists to punch in. All kinds of old Beijing goods are dazzling, and all kinds of snacks are also gathered here. However, although shopping is a good place, the snacks in Wangfujing are actually not authentic. It is not recommended to go to Wangfujing to experience Beijing specialty snacks.
