Wangjing Yihao 望京一号

Enjoy pungent Sichuan dishes in a flowery bower. The two ancient crabapple trees that watch over the courtyard of this Ming Dynasty-style compound rain down pink pedals when they are blossoming in early April. This dreamy scene only lasts for a week, but you’ll still drive back for their reasonably priced Chongqing fare, with various spicy and numbing renditions of catfish, chicken, rabbits and frogs.
