Q: Great restaurants to take international visitors in Beijing?

Got visitors coming real soon and want to give them the best culinary experience possible while here. However, the local places I always go to are not exactly the type of places someone fresh off the boat from the West will like (grimy, hole-in-the-wall interior, plastic plates etc). But, I'm also not rich either so if anyone knows any tasty mid-range Chinese restaurants please let me know!

Huge rows of restaurants between Bexinqiao and Dongzhimen..always very crowded with locals but look a bit nicer than hole-in-the-wall places. Not sure of the price range though.

全聚德 the roast duck/Peking duck place. That's my friend (Canadian) 2nd favorite dine out when she visited China last year. Her favorite was having dumpling on the street in Xi'an.

I  suppose it depends on your guests and only you will know that.

 

Personally when I first came to China the hole in the walls were frightening, (maybe a little too frightening) but I WANTED to see and feel the real deal China not a westernised bastardisation of it.

 

If I were you, first night, take them to a semi-westernised place at usual dinner time, then take them for a few drinks till a normal Chinese hour (midnight-ish) and then take them to a street BBQ. Judge what they like after that.

If you want to go back a few hundred years in time and experience a modern Chinese twist for the price of a meal back home, pop along to here  -   Baijia Courtyard. Suzhou Street Haidian    About 200 yards north of Suzhoujie, line 10.   The ambiance is amazing, not many tourists.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
