CHUNLICHIFAN Co., Ltd. BEIJING

It is probably the most retro restaurant in Beijing. A doormat saying “you are not welcomed" never bothered me or prevented my brave stride into the restaurant. Fascinating neon lights on the wall make you feel like being at a small street restaurant in Hong Kong. The theme music from Youth and Danger, a famous Hong Kong film series about triad societies,are playing in the restaurant, creating a drama-like atmosphere.A night tour in Hong Kong indeed!

Everyone in the restaurant is a cyber celebrity. They are making varied, effortless, and brave postures.Those who get cold feet in front of cameras may learn something useful here. Tip:The restaurant is a“late night restaurant" and is not open until 5:30 p. m.
