Tianwaitian Restaurant, Hangzhou

Doors of Tianwaitian Restaurant invited visitors in 1910 when it was first opened in one of the most picturesque locations in Hangzhou. By the Hejian Bridge and very close to the famous sightseeing spot, the Lingyin Temple, this restaurant is open daily from 7am to 9pm. Around the Lingyin Si area while visiting the Lingyin Temple if you feel hungry for good non vegetarian Chinese food, Tianwaitian Restaurant would be a good option to try.

The Tianwaitian Restaurant of Hangzhou, China is very popular among visitors for its dishes like Fresh Chestnut in Sweet Osmanthus, Quick-fried big shrimps, West Lake Vinegar Carp, Braised mushroom, whole fish cooked in sour sauce, Beggar's Chicken, Sister Song's Thick Fish Soup, Shrimp Meat with Dragon Well Green Tea, Dongpo Meat, and Braised Bamboo Shoot. Other Asian and Chinese cuisine is also supplied by the eatery. For adventurous diners Immortals soup could be a fine recommendation.

The aftertaste of the extraordinarily well cooked seafood lasts for a longer period than normal. This seafood is supposedly caught from Xi Hu. Dishes are roughly priced at ¥40-55 each. Few of the many halls inside the restaurant are Nanhai Cihang Hall, Shenchi Hall, Cuiwei Hall and so forth.

Such tasty food is enjoyed twice better if one can have it while sitting in a place where Beijian Brook flows by before his eyes and ears are soothed by the tolls from the ancient temple. Tianwaitian Restaurant is exactly beside the Streams Joining Bridge outside the Peak Flown from Afar Park entrance at 2 Lingyin Tianzhu Lu, Hangzhou, Zhejiang

Hangzhou's Tianwaitian Restaurant still carries its tradition in distinctive taste of the food and warm gracious service of the hosts adding to the finesse of the dining place. Comparing it to Louwailou would not be correct but after touring Lingyin Temple, holy Buddha monastery and the Peak flown from Afar, Tianwaitian Restaurant is a place at least worthy enough to enjoy a good day's Chinese meal.
