3. Guijie (Ghost Street)

Located in Dongzhimen, Guijie is an essential part of life for Beijing citizens. Despite that fact that life here is colorful and peaceful in daytime and at night, far from being gloomy and scary, many ghost stories can be heard from the old timers. According to them, the name Guijie originated from Gui(鬼)jie(街), meaning a street haunted by ghosts; there were many shops selling coffins here with few shoppers several decades ago; business prospects seemed to be dimming since 1997, when the real street of catering came into being, thus spreading its name as a street haunted by ghosts.

Address: Dongzhimen, Dongcheng district
