Opened in 1928, Bei Yuan restaurant isn’t just a place to eat. It’s a journey through time. It began as a private villa. The villa belonged to the grandfather of the then President of the Chamber of Commerce, Dianbang Zou. Located near Yuexiu Mountain, with a stream flowing by its front, Bei Yuan earned a poetic description: “Dining before the mountain, tea beside the water.” Bei Yuan translates to “North Garden.” This tranquil space, across from Yuexiu Park, offers more than just a meal. It offers a taste of history. Bei Yuan has witnessed Guangzhou’s transformation. In the 1950s, it was known as the “Foreigners’ Cafeteria.” By 1998, it had earned the title of one of the Nation’s top restaurants. Even today, Bei Yuan continues to impress.
