Fufeng Bridge

Fufeng Bridge in Beijing's Fengtai District might not be as famous as the Forbidden City, but it's a hidden gem for experiencing authentic local life. Wander around the nearby alleys where street food stalls serve everything from zhajiang noodles to sweet glutinous rice rolls. Come at dusk to watch the sunset reflecting on the bridge while mingling with residents chatting and strolling – a perfect slice of Beijing's daily rhythm.
