Chef Li Zhanxu: Blend of Tradition and Openness of Qu Lang Yuan

Strolling through the hutong alleys of Dongsi Shiyitiao, compared to the last time I visited Beijing I seem to have stepped into a different world, where natural light penetrates and greenery abounds. The architectural style of Qu Lang Yuan is very charming and full of Chinese elements. Old structures, red bricks and tiles are cherished and beautifully preserved. Qu Lang Yuan has been a hot topic among diners, and as soon as you step through the entrance, you will hear the cheerful voice of Chef Li Zhanxu.
