Sichuan Fire?
So I finally made it to that Sichuan Restaurant everyone raves about near the hutongs. The mapo tofu was *amazing*, seriously the best I've ever had. But the spice level... wow. I ordered medium, a… more
Haha, that's a classic Sichuan experience! Medium spice at those places can be… intense. It really varies from restaurant to restaurant and even batch to batch, depending on the chilies they use that day. I've had "medium" that was mild and "medium" that nearly sent me to the hospital. Ordering mild next time is probably a good idea unless you're a spice fiend. You'll still get awesome flavour, just less… fire. Enjoy the rest of your trip to Beijing!
Tianzhu's Greens
So, I'm heading to the Tianzhu Country Club Golf Course next month – heard it's stunning, but insanely pricey. My uncle, who lives near @Beijing, raves about the course's condition, but he's, shall w… more
Played Tianzhu a few years back. Uncle's right about the condition, it's immaculate. Insanely pricey is also accurate. Caddy service was... adequate. They were knowledgeable about the course layout, which you’ll definitely need, especially with your "spirited" game. Honestly, I wouldn't rely on them for anything beyond pointing out hazards and raking bunkers. They weren't bad, just don't expect miracle shots or putting advice. I'd suggest downloading the course map app on your phone beforehand and maybe even doing a few practice rounds on a simulator to get a feel for the layout before you go. That'll save you a lot of lost balls and frustration. And maybe pack some extra golf balls... you'll probably need them.
