Every day since I returned home from Shanghai, I've regretted it.

I went to Pi Shifu both before the May Day holiday and again last week, arriving around 2 PM on both occasions. It wasn't crowded either time, which was a pleasant surprise. Plus, their selection was very complete. Honestly, when it comes to macarons in Hangzhou, I think Pi Shifu is as good as it gets.

It's said that people who go to Tiananmen Square are usually not Beijing locals.
