When traveling around the world, for visitors venturing to new restaurants, the first delectable mouthful always leaves an indelible impression. Beijing, China's capital, an increasingly internationalized and diversified metropolis, has become a gathering point for the finest cuisines from all over the country as well as around the world. Through this variety of foods, Chinese people can taste flavors from other lands, and people from overseas will feel more at home in Beijing. The delight of dining also comes to a great extent from ease of mind, graceful settings as well as exquisite ambiance and tableware. Good food is not only about good taste, but also about the culture, aesthetic values and philosophy that lie at its root. Life is not only about eating, yet it is incomplete without enjoying food. "Every meal, every day, enrich our life with delicious cuisine." Under such a concept, A World of Fine Restaurants in Beijing collects over 250 dining spots of choice in seven categories, including "International Cuisine," "Business Dining," and "Private Dining." It provides the address, phone number, average price per head for a meal and payment forms, along with the specialties of every restaurant. Thanks to the contents layout and the index, according to dish styles, regions or other features, the book is also very appealing and easy to use.
