I finally got to try the national pastries at Beihai Park.

While everyone is flocking to the latest trendy afternoon tea spots, I have a soft spot for the classic afternoon tea at old, established restaurants. ☕ The Fangshan Tea House in Beihai Park is one of my favorites. The Fangshan Tea House is a time-honored brand that was established in 1925, making it 99 years old this year. The tea house offers affordable prices, allowing everyone to easily experience the charm of a royal afternoon tea. The pastries are all handmade, with a fine craftsmanship, no additives, low sugar, and a short shelf life, which ensures they are healthy and fresh. 🧁 There are a variety of pastries, including traditional pastries, replica pastries, and innovative pastries, each of which is as delicate as a small piece of art. If you like salty flavors, you can try the chili salt and walnut flavors, which have a unique flavor that lingers on the tongue. 🥛 If you like the flavor of milk, you must not miss the "Zhao Cai Jin Bao" and "Chang Shou Su", which have a rich milk flavor and a mellow taste. The pastries taste even better when heated, as if they take you back in time to experience the delicacy and warmth of that era. At the Fangshan Tea House, you can enjoy the delicious food that has been passed down through the ages while admiring the beautiful scenery of Beihai Park, which is a truly ultimate enjoyment. This is not only a feast for the taste buds, but also a dialogue with history. Come to the Fangshan Tea House and arrange a clear and straightforward Beijing royal afternoon tea.
