Sadly, our best meal in Beijing was a Shanghai based soup dumpling chain restaurant. It was very good, but the only problem was that we had to pay our own portion of this meal.

The veggies were tasty, even if slightly underseasoned.

A rock formation that looks sort of like a human face (if looked at properly). It was said to give prosperity.
