It’s really central and from the main Metro and bus stop in XinJieKou the most direct route to the office is up MingWaLang. 
It’s great for food because there are stalls right down the road selling all sorts of local dishes, noodles, meat on sticks (not brave enough to try this), rice pudding stuff, dumplings, vegetable bread things, omlette type things with chili sauce, all manner of rice dishes, cakes, buns – you name it you can get anything you like on MingWaLang including McDonalds!
Starting at the McDonald’s end you walk past a new cafe (not tried yet) and tents for migrant workers. If you go at night you will find migrant workers sleeping on the pavement outside the cafe wrapped up like grubs with layers of blankets trying to stave off the cold. God knows how they survive on the streets in sub-zero temperatures. The lucky ones get thin tents.
The migrant workers will disappear off MingWaLang when the road works stop and who knows when that will be. We are all getting a bit hacked off with dodging diggers, holes in the road, open sewers, pavements full of bikes or parked cars and dust dust dust like you’ve never known before.
Please give us back our street.
