Nuage sister restaurant celebrates Shandong cuisine

Opened in 2009, the Qing Yun Lou Shandong cuisine restaurant has long been considered Beijing's guardian of Shandong, or Lu, cuisine among foodies who share love for the one of the earliest formed culinary arts in China.

Located on the east bank of Shichahai Lake, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beijing, the restaurant's owners claim a legacy dating back to the original Qing Yun Lou restaurant built on the site in the early 19th century.

The new eatery follows recipes rummaged from historical documentation to bring out the authentic Lu culinary flavors, according to co-owner Wang Jing.
