Question about Beijing

We were in China just a few weeks ago and I'm presently working on my travel page. I'm trying to find the name of a particular night food market in Beijing which we visited and maybe somebody here can help me.

This food market had a long line of food stalls along one street which is perpindicular to the eastern end of the Wangfujing shopping street.

Can anybody help?

I believe it's called the "Donganmen Night Market" which one entrance is near the Xindongan Mall on Wangfujing

Aloha!

Sorry I'm confused, since Wangfujing Avenue runs north to south direction, where is the eastern end? Although "dong" means east ...

East, west, north or south, it doesn't really matter. I've checked the web and found out that this market is indeed parallel to and east of Wangfujing. I believe we walked through a shopping mall in the easterly direction and then found the night market and that's why I remember it being in the easterly direction.

Here's a link to an entertaining description of this market:

Thanks for the assistance.

We saw all the delicacies described in the article, but the only thing we ate was fruit which was also on a skewer.
