Wine, dine and blow the mind of your valentine

Brainy date

For those looking to prove their mental mettle, the Beijing Planetarium is a chance for a heavenly date that will leave you both starry-eyed. With a mind-blowing "4D" science theater, it's a classy step up from dinner and a movie.

After discovering the universe together, get a taste of history at the iconic Red Capital Club restaurant. Serving up the favorite dishes of Beijing's past political leaders in a hutong setting, it's a great pitching point to showcase your vast knowledge of the city's history.
