The 7th China (Chongqing) Hot Pot & Food Culture Festival officially kicked off on Nov 27 at the Chongqing International Expo Center. Through Nov 30, people took part in a hot pot banquet accommodating up to 10,000 diners at an outdoor venue and enjoyed over 1,000 kinds of special snacks. A newly opened restaurant has attracted a lot of customers because it's decorated like a cave. It's said that the owner spent almost 1 million yuan to decorate and the spacious restaurant only accommodates 10 tables of guests. [Photo/IC] |
