This tiny teahouse next to the Forbidden City is one of the most peaceful in Beijing, with private rooms
separated by wood lattice screens and a small fountain in front that fills it with the sound of water. English
Menus are printed on gorgeous fans; there's one for tea and one for food. Order one of the more expensive
oolong teas (¥200-¥400/$28-$56) and you'll be treated to the Chinese version of a tea ceremony, less
aesthetically pleasing than the Japanese version but with a better-tasting end product.
