Summer Staples – Fresh Watermelon Juice with Mint

During the summer month, most local fruit markets all over the city offer watermelons either by the slice or as a whole. A 5 kg melon cost around 3 € and can be “squeezed” into three litres of juice. Chilled down with ice cubes and touched up with a few mint leaves its the perfect drink for your sunday breakfast.

Donghuamen Night Market

Delicacies @ Donghuamen Night Market. Initially we went to buy a cell phone card at China Unicom, then walked right into the apm shopping Mall, before discovering fancy foods at the night market.
