Watch chefs prepare authentic local specialties like Chinese hamburgers and hand-pulled noodles right before your eyes in the open kitchen, while enjoying Western favorites like macaroni, fried chicken, and croissants.

Your tour will conclude at the square before the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda. Please return independently; your guide will assist you with transport advice for your journey back to your hotel.
