On the sixth floor of SKP, Beijing Kitchen, a Cantonese restauran, is favored by many diners and selected in the 2023 Black Pearl Restaurant Guide. "We opened the first store four years ago." On the day he accepted the award, Gu Zhihui, the restaurant's owner, wrote on Wechat Moments: "The location is in Chaoyang Dsitrict because it is very fashionable and has a strong business atmosphere."
In recent years, fine dining represented by Black Pearl and Michelin has been recognized and accepted by more people. Statistics show that more than half of the listed restaurants in Beijing are located in Chaoyang District.
Through the fine dining list, we can see people's pursuit of a better life.
Why do high-end restaurants choose Chaoyang District? One can probably find the answer in Gu Zhihui's experience.
As a renowned Cantonese chef, Gu worked in Hong Kong and Tokyo for many years and then moved to Beijing in 2009 as executive chef of the Yu Restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. "Chaoyang District is very busy and open. Beijing CBD is comparable to many business centers at home and abroad." "Said Gu Zhihui. China Central Center, where Yu restaurant is located, is exactly the most representative urban complex in CBD.
So when Gu decided to open his own restaurant, he chose the location without hesitation and kept his restaurant here and chose SKP, the best-known mall.
