Adventurous visitors can savor rainbow trout and colored tofu

If you are in Beijing for a short holiday, a visit to the suburbs will enhance your travel experience with its natural beauty, its historical sites and its distinctive delicacies.

Among the various delicacies is the rainbow trout.

The Huairou district in northern Beijing, which has mountains and abundant water resources, produces some of the best rainbow trout in China, although the fish is not a native specimen. It was brought to the region from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in 1959.
