Highlights

Tired of cookie-cutter cooking classes? Led by Dana with 15 years of hotel industry expertise, our private courtyard café offers a premium dual cultural experience: handmade dumpling cooking workshop + optional Chinese mahjong lesson. You’ll learn to fold perfect traditional dumplings and cook classic dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, Yangzhou Fried Rice and chili oil noodles. Our professional head chef (my husband) customizes menus for Sichuan, Cantonese or regional flavors. After cooking, you can stay to learn the rules and fun gameplay of authentic Chinese mahjong.

About Beijing

Beijing, China's capital for centuries, holds imperial palaces, sacred temples and stretches of the Great Wall within reach of its modern boulevards.

At the city's heart, the Forbidden City spreads behind vermilion walls, a labyrinth of halls and courtyards that housed the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Tiananmen Square lies to its south, and the hill of Jingshan Park to its north gives the finest view over its golden roofs. The Temple of Heaven, set in a park where locals practise tai chi and dance, is a masterpiece of imperial design.

Top-ranked sights in Beijing: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
