Wangfujing street ( is the Chinese capital's first street for shopping. Much of the road is sealed off-limits to cars and other motor vehicles, and it is not rare to see the entire street full of people, turned into one of China ´s most attractive and updated boulevards. The street has its origins in the Wang Family's estate, whose Well was deemed to be a national landmark and can still be seen while traversing the shop-lined streets. It starts from Wangfujing Nankou, where the Oriental Plaza and the Beijing Hotel are located. It then heads north, passing the Wangfujing Xinhua Bookstore , the Beijing Department Store as well as the Beijing Foreign Languages Bookstore before coming to an end at the Xin Dong An Plaza . In the early 1990s trolleybuses and buses ran through the street, making it very cramped. Modifications in 1999 and 2000 made much of Wangfujing Street car-free (aside from the occasional tour Trolley ). Wangfujing is linked by the Beijing Subway networks, just one stop away from Tiananmen Square. Line 1 has a stop at the South end of the street, which bears the same name.
