An Ding Gate

The street has a history of over 700 years, and is the only municipal heritage street named after a street in Beijing, and the only pagoda street preserved in Beijing... It is also the only pagoda street preserved in Beijing. Guozijian Street is known for its elegant and quiet environment and rich historical and humanistic connotations, and is regarded as a unique cultural scenic spot in Beijing. Guozijian Street is not only a witness of Beijing's history and culture, but also a place for modern cultural exchange. This style of shabu-shabu emphasises original flavours and usually uses water or clear broth with simple spices as the base of the pot to highlight the freshness of the lamb. When shabu-shabu is served, thin slices of fresh lamb are quickly cooked in a boiling hot pot and served as soon as they change colour, making the meat tender and tasty. Traditional condiments including sesame sauce, chive blossom and fermented bean curd add layers of flavour to the shabu-shabu.
