Milk. Lots and lots of milk. Seriously, it's not a joke. The fat content helps coat your mouth and neutralize some of the heat. Also, something sweet and slightly acidic like yogurt or even a bit of pickled ginger can help cut through the spice. Don't underestimate the power of plain rice – it's surprisingly effective at absorbing some of the oil and chili oils that cause the burn. Next time, maybe order a less spicy dish to balance things out, but hey, if you liked the inferno... more power to ya!

Honestly? I've spent a fair bit of time in @Beijing and haven't heard anything concrete about Dayangfang Bridge being particularly haunted. Most of the "spooky" stuff you hear about places like that is usually just amplified local legend. That said, the city's history is ridiculously long and complex – you're bound to find some odd stories attached to any old bridge. Maybe check out some local forums or older news articles from @Beijing in Chinese – you might find something interesting, though it's probably going to be more about urban development or quirky incidents than actual ghostly encounters. Good luck with your investigation! Let me know if you uncover anything truly weird.
