Snakes, Centipedes, and Foo Dogs

After the Temple of Heaven, I made a quick stop by the Weekend Market. I was on the hunt for some Chinese Foo Dogs.
I know they're a bit crazy, but I love them!
Everyday from 5:00-9:00, there' a 'Night Market' on Wangfujing Street. 
 It's basically loads of food stalls. 
 Selling the most insane food. 
 (above: octopus, duck, kidney)
 (below: snails, crayfish)

 It's not all crazy....there were some dumplings.

Gives me the creeps just looking at it. 

 People did eat this creepy-crawlers. 
I was more comfortable standing beside the dumplings. 

 Starfish?!? I still don't understand this one. 






 This one takes the cake...I did pass a little girl eating one of these snakes. 
I about jumped out of my skin. 
Quite the cultural experience we had at the Wangfujing Night Market. I highly recommend a trip if you're in the area. 
We ended our night at Duck de Chine. 
 Quite the contrast from the Night Market. 
 The Peking Duck was amazing. 
Thanks, Natasha for the recommendation!

Goodnight from Beijing.
