Summer Palace-颐和园

This Haidian restaurant specializes in the finer aspects of Chinese dining and gastronomy, with a variety of regional treats like bamboo shoots from Anhui and steamed grouper from Guangdong.

Featuring jazz and cocktails, Cinco is Ala House's arm in Haidian.

U-Plus Clinic is a large specialist outpatient facility with over a dozen specialty departments.

Palace Garden Hotel provides a space for tourists to enjoy Beijing's rich history and sights. Staff can offer travel tips for independent and family trips, romantic weekends away, and package tours. 

Located in one of Beijing's core business zones in northern Haidian district, adjacent to Yongfeng and Zhongguancun Software Park, the hotel is only 45 minutes' drive away form Beijing Capital International Airport. It takes less than 35 minutes by car to reach the city's main railway stations and only 5 minutes to the offices of Baidu and Lenovo.

This peaceful, little restaurant by Yuanmingyuan has a charming courtyard with a lily pond and serves dishes made out of tofu and taro. Specialties include the tangcu liji (sweet and sour "pork," 糖醋排骨) and steamed "cod."

Complete with waitresses in milkmaid dresses and a stage set for live music, this is a cheery west side appropriation of Drei Kronen 1308. Sad to say, but if you live in Chaoyang, Uhland isn’t really worth your trouble. They do make two very drinkable beers on site (light and dark, available in 300ml to 1 liter glasses), which are cheaper than Drei Kronen’s admittedly quality brews. Unfortunately, the cab fare will wipe out your saving. However, if you live around Wudaokou or Zhongguancun, Uhland is well worth an evening of your life.

Located in the resplendent courtyard setting of the Aman Resort at the Summer Palace, the newly renovated Naoki serves "original French Kaiseki fare which combines the best of French technique with a Japanese sense of artistry" prepared by Kyoto-native chef Naoki Okumura. Ten-course set meals featuring a variety of regional dishes are priced at RMB 1,000 a head.

Part of the Aman at Summer Palace luxury resort in Yiheyuan, The Grill has recently undergone renovations and serves Western fare, with an emphasis on "grilled-to-order selections of prime cuts of meats and fresh seafood" in a space filled with the classic minimalism of Ming Dynasty furnishings and a beautiful, Suzhou-style courtyard with a pool as its centerpiece. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Hidden away at the luxury Aman Resort, the Aman Spa occupies a historical dwelling once used by Summer Palace guests awaiting an audience with Empress Dowager Cixi. You can start your spa journey here with a Pilates or Yoga lesson, followed by a the usual pampering session.

Stepping from hot, dusty Chengfu Lu and into the expansive lobby of this hotel is like being baptized into luxury. Opened in May 2007, the hotel features bright rooms, ranging from very comfortable to opulent, all with glass-walled bathrooms and deep bathtubs. RMB 808- 33,200.
