Move over, avocado toast – Beijing’s Beihai Park is serving up summer treats that are straight out of a royal playbook! 🌞 The historic Fangshan Restaurant, nestled within the park’s iconic imperial gardens, just unveiled a lineup of seasonal pastries inspired by lotus blooms and classical Chinese artistry.
Think delicate lotus flower-shaped cakes, lotus seed pod desserts, and airy confections that taste like a breezy afternoon by the lake. 🪷 These goodies aren’t just Insta-worthy (though #FoodPorn alert!) – they’re crafted with subtle sweetness and soft textures perfect for pairing with tea. Imagine nibbling on edible art while gazing at 17th-century pavilions – it’s ancient Chinese poetry meets modern foodie culture.
Pro tip for travelers: Add this to your Beijing bucket list. Where else can you taste history literally *on the plate*? 🏯✨
