At Beijing's Beihai Park, the historic Fangshan Teahouse—nestled within the renowned Fangshan Restaurant on the park's northern shore—has reopened its doors, offering affordable imperial-style pastries steeped in late Qing Dynasty heritage. This revival of court cuisine culture, blending regal elegance with accessibility, is drawing crowds of visitors eager to experience this cultural gem.

Inside, classically elegant decor dominated by imperial yellow tones evokes the grandeur of palace life. Display cases showcase an array of delicacies: traditional royal treats like Fuling Gao and Gongting Nabobo, whimsically shaped pastries such as walnut-shaped cookies and persimmon-inspired crisps, and beloved staples including Zaohua Su, Wandou Huang, almond tofu, and Yuanmeng Shaobing. Most items are bite-sized and priced under 10 yuan, inviting guests to curate their own royal tasting journey.
