Apartment in Beijing Wangfujing

Wangfujing is among the most famous places in Beijing. This is a central place in the city, just at the east of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen square. Wangfujing is a business hub, a touristic place and, above all, one of the favorite plcaes for Chinese people to do some shopping.

The "Wangfujing" name dates back to the Ming dynasty and is believed to be inspired on a Beijing tale. As Beijing was struck by a very severe drought, most of the city's well went dry. A prince had a well in his mansion and wanted the quality of the its water to be preserved so he prohibed anyone from the city to have access. The well keeper worried about the fate of the local population, decided to let to peoplesecretely come to fetch some water during the night. The day when disovered that he had been disobeyed, he went furious. Instead of trying to minimize his fault, the well keeper stood firm and took the full responsability for his disobedience. The prince was impressed by this honestty and admitted that the open access to the well had saved the local population. He then decided to let people freely come to the well in the mansion, so thta the area took this name " The Prince Mansion " and the population there increased a lot.

Actually, this is a very active commercial area since the Qing dynasty.
