#discoverchina I recently had the pleasure of trying a restaurant that was highly recommended by the locals. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I'm always up for trying new things, so I decided to give it a shot. If you're someone who loves spicy food, then this restaurant is definitely worth a try. The dishes are packed with flavor and a kick of heat that will leave you wanting more. Even though it was a bit spicy, I enjoyed the bold flavors and the way the spices complemented each dish. I tried the tofu and fish dish, and I was impressed by the flavors and textures. The tofu was silky smooth, and the fish was cooked to perfection. Even though it was a bit spicy, the flavors were well-balanced, and I enjoyed every bite. One thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant is small, so it can get crowded during peak hours. If you're planning to visit during a busy time, be prepared to wait for a seat or arrive early to avoid the crowds. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and considerate. They were happy to answer questions about the menu, made recommendations, and ensured that everyone had a great dining experience. 📍Address: Jingyi Restaurant (Qianmen store), No.2 Dongjie Liulichang, Xicheng district, Beijing. 830m walk from the southeast exit C2 of Hepingmen station on Line 2 .

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck The SUR by Caboponolio cafe in Beijing is a cafe that we found by accident. We opened the Amap app and saw that it was near our accommodation, just a 500-meter walk. It is located near the White Pagoda Temple in Xicheng District, an area full of hidden chic cafes. The shop is quite deep inside. You have to walk into an alley for a bit, but when we found it, we were impressed. The atmosphere is very good. The decorations are very unique. It is simple, cool, but also warm. We went in the evening, so we ordered a small glass of Picolo to drink just enough to smell the fragrant coffee, but not too strong. We were afraid that if we drank too much, we wouldn't be able to sleep. The shop has two floors. We went up to the rooftop. The view is very good. We could see both the white pagoda and the old houses in the alley. The atmosphere is very chill. The highlight is the cat that the shop raises. It has soft fur and is well-behaved. It is also the shop's regular model. It walks around for us to take pictures all the time. It is very cute. If you are a cafe lover, like to sit and sip coffee in a quiet corner and see beautiful things around you, I recommend you to stop by this shop. You will not be disappointed. ⸻ #TravelChina #Beijing #BeijingCafe #TravelBeijing

When it is cold in the north in winter, one can’t help but envy the little potatoes in the south. Are they digging sandworms in the sea at this time? Fortunately, you can also taste the delicacies of the South China Sea in the north, so you don’t feel so lonely. The swimming crabs in soybean paste are particularly fresh, and the bamboo shoot beef brisket pot is something you can't find in the north. The Chaozhou oyster pancake, Chaozhou preserved radish omelette, lotus root pods, stir-fried squid, and stir-fried clams all tell of the deliciousness of the South China Sea. Fried rice noodles with beef, braised goose meat, Chaozhou traditional goose liver, sweet tofu pudding, stir-fried beef with sour lotus root tips, and brown sugar rice cake showcase the characteristics of Chaozhou. Garlic spare ribs and fried taro are northern ingredients that give a southern taste.

Family members, who would understand!! I actually stayed in a courtyard house in Beijing with such a high rating! I'll definitely come back!! There's also a private courtyard! It's super suitable for friends to chat and drink tea together! The guesthouse is located in the small alleys of Beijing, and just outside is the bustling Nanluoguxiang, where it's super convenient to eat and drink. Although it's lively around, the soundproofing is very well done~ The rooftop even has a small terrace! It's so enjoyable to sit on the terrace at night with sisters, drinking a cup of coffee or a little alcohol, and watching the hustle and bustle, it's a unique flavor. The room facilities are very nice! The mattress is very comfortable, super soft~ Once you lie down, you'll sink right in! The furniture is also very vintage, with charm~ They even deliver breakfast to the room every morning, which is very heartwarming~ Even my parents, who usually don't take photos, took lots of videos and flooded their friends' circles. A good accommodation environment greatly enhances the travel experience~ :Beijing-Xicheng District-Xianmen Street
