While there are countless options for fine dining in Beijing, one of the best places to go for a good meal is Ghost Street (簋街). Here, you can find many great restaurants, including plenty of places specializing in hot pot. Your table is turned into a stove top, a massive bowl of broth is brought out, you take your pick of a variety of meats, vegetables, and noodles, and then you do the cooking yourself. Delicious and fun, a nice hot pot dinner is the perfect remedy for the blistering cold Beijing winter.
