A soothing meal after a long trek into the grasslands: start with a pot of the house specialty, a unique, non-spicy tomato-based soup, and then add your choice of fixings: thinly sliced beef (鲜牛肉; xiān niúròu), chicken wings (鸡翅; jīchì), cabbage (大白菜; dà báicài), winter melon (冬瓜; dōngguā) and bamboo shoots (竹荪; zhú sūn). In the old town near the East Gate.
