The Chaoyang outpost of Xin Rong Ji Restaurant has an elegant but relaxed dining area. Just what we need for a chilled weeknight dinner. The sensational peking duck, which you have to pre-order, is only available at the flagship location. 

With 19 buildings clustered just a few minutes' walk from one another, Taikoo Li Sanlitun is pretty much mecca for a serious shopper. This Chaoyang shopping centre has some of the best brands—both Chinese and international.

Is the weather good? Yay! Take advantage of the sun and grab brunch on Mosto's sweet little terrace. Hangover, begone!

Standard beers are nowhere in sight at this relaxed Chaoyang pub. Jing-A constantly tests the limits with their brewing techniques; they love an innovative flavour, so you can expect some seriously funky craft beers!
