The
Origin between Home Dinner
and Money Exchange Shop |
|
The restaurant is
about 500 square meters and it is able
to provide place for more than 300 people
to enjoy their dinners at one time.
The company organized professional
staff to investigate and find out about
a hundred private dishes of tens of
rich and powerful merchants’ families
in order to bloom the historical shop
Pingyao, which has thousands of years’
history. After that, we are honored
to present ceremoniously eight kinds
of luxury series meal and six secondary
dinners. Therefore, our restaurant is
suitable for people of different criterion,
quantity and flavor. I believe our hotel
wins universal praise and you will find
you have a worthy trip after you enjoy
