Best bars in Beijing
Many of Beijing's best bars build their drinks from Chinese ingredients and the city's own flavours. Alley Diagon mixes local flavours into cocktails in a snug hutong room, Tiao at the Mandarin Oriental Qianmen tells Beijing's history through baijiu, and Bar Long Fong in Wangfujing builds precise cocktails around Chinese seasonal ingredients, an Oyster Daiquiri among them. At the Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, MO Bar's terrace looks over the Forbidden City.
