Picked up from your hotel and transferred to Beijing Cooking School in the morning. There you will watch from beginning to end how the chef prepares and makes the dishes and learn the secrets of excellent Chinese cooking.

In the afternoon you will visit a market to learn about Chinese vegetables, meats and the many spices that make Chinese cooking special.
Then you will go to Tianjin Baijiaoyuan Restaurant to see how Chinese Jiaozi (Dumping) is made and enjoy a Jiaozi dinner. Return to your hotel.
As a traditional Chinese Food, Jiaozi (Chinese Dumpling) is essential during holidays in Northern China. And Jiaozi becomes one of the most widely loved foods in China. Because of the shape of Jiaozi which is very similar to ancient Chinese gold or silver ingots, they symbolize wealth. Thus, Jiaozi is one of the most important foods in Chinese New Year. Traditionally, family members get together to make dumplings during the New Year's Eve. They may hide a coin in one of the dumplings. Then the person who find the coin will likely have a good fortune in the following year. For part of the Chinese culure or tradition, Jiaozi is also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals. You can make a variety of Jiaozi using different fillings based on your taste and how various ingredients mixed together by you. Jiaozi is often the food for sending off friends or family members away. It seems to be another tradition.
Tianjin Baijiaoyuan, with 10 kinds and 229 types of dumpling in the restaurant, a Guinness record, is a national restaurant chain on service of dumpling. Dumplings here are featured thin wrapper and large filling, true materials, accessible cooking, real-time making and one hundred tastes.
