Beijing Food Streets

Todays Court Cuisine is based on the dishes prepared by the Qing imperial kitchens but further developed ever since. In ancient times, although imperial food originated with the common people, imperial food used high quality raw food stuffs. The rice, flour, meat, vegetables, melon, fruits, poultry, fish, and unconventional delicacies from land and sea were carefully chosen as tributes by local officials throughout the country. They were unmatched in quality and purity

Beijing Beihai Fangshan Restaurant
| The Beihai Fangshan Restaurant is located in Yilantang Hall on the north side of the Jade Isle, where Empress Dowager Cixi (1835 - 1908) used to take her meals after sightseeing in the park. The food made in the Qing Palace for the emperors was called imperial food, so a restaurant operating outside the palace making and selling imperial food was only an imitation (in Chinese, Fangshan).
