This market is famous in Beijing for the various foods that have become part of the Chinese cuisine. Take a look at some of the various pictures. While scrumptious to some, I believe that I'll pass this time.
The history of how certain foods became part of Chinese Culture and for any culture is interesting. Foods often become part of a societies culture as a result of necessity and remain in the culture because of legacy.
Picture Below: Picture of Billy eating a starfish at the food markets. Billy's original goal was to eat a Scorpion, but he decided against it after getting sick from eating the Starfish.
