New Qianmen
新前门

It is said the Emperor Guangxu (光緒帝 Guāngxùdì,1871–1908) used to dress in ordinary clothes and go out for a night on the town. Actually, this is said of many emperors, it must have gotten pretty boring in the Forbidden City. Anyway, he had a meal here.

When the owner of the restaurant started making offerings to a certain table, people surmised that the Emperor had sat there. Of course, the owner could never break silence, but he could continue to make offerings!
