Looking to Dine-Out in Beijing? Here Are A Few Suggestions

Be sure to head to Shuangjing favorite Plan B, where you can indulge in a whole host of new menu items, including The Beijing Boss sandwich. Or perhaps, you'd consider a visit to Jing-A Taproom CBD where you can still get a taste of unique craft beers as part of the 8x8 festival. But hurry! The special craft beers are only on offer until Friday, December 16.

Our suggestion? Have a test result issued within 48 hours if you plan on heading out to dine. This rule appears to still be in force in many cases.
