Guijie (Ghost Street)
NileGuide Expert Says:
Although virtually all the restaurants along this street are great, restaurants such as Jingui Xiaoshancheng for spicy food, Little Sheep for hotpot and Xiao Yu Shan for lamb skewers are some of the best. You can usually find restaurants in this area that are open 24 hours, allowing you to enjoy tasty food no matter what time of the day or night it is.Address:
