Forums > Food & Drink > "Wedding Banquet" venues?

Yes, we may yet deafult to a sit-down meal. However, with only 1-2 actual relatives attending (my fiancee has a very small family!) and the others being friends and colleagues, including a dozen foreigners (several of whom are veggies/vegans) we thought we might go for food that people can choose for themselves and actually enjoy. I've been to so many weddings were the standard food dumped on your table was just awful. But choice costs! ....can you book a whole Dicos restaurant for a function??

Forums > Food & Drink > "Wedding Banquet" venues?

I'm getting married later in the year. We are expecting 100-150 guests, thinking (perhaps) of buffet style rather than dishes-on-table, and don't want to be too far out of the city centre. Can anyone suggest any good-value venues we could investigate? Hotels or restaurants? Thanks.

Woohoo! 24 hour running water resumed yesterday in my nieghbourhood after 6 months without. I put it down to the Deputy Mayor monitoring this article. Thank you DM and GoK. I can shower again....

We tried it recently to ask why our neighbourhood has had no running water after 6 months, despite the recent rains. They said it wasn't anything to do with them and hung up.

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.

Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.

Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.

The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
