Welcome to Suzhou Street
Suzhou Street in Haidian District of Beijing is quite near to the famous Information and Technology Zone of Zhongguancun Village, which provides good reasons for the food street's busyness with great business potentials. Suzhou Street’s low profile doesn't make it lesser known, on the contrary, it has been welcomed by talents who are working in Zhongguancun and food lovers from outside districts, who will call cabs here for meals. The restaurants in Suzhou Street cater different tastes and classes of local citizens. The best restaurants are not designed as conventional ones but Beijing courtyard style residences or grand mansions with garden views inside.
