The China Club Beijing

The China Club Beijing is situated on Xirong Xian Lane, a quiet hutong near the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.  It was a modest royal palace built in the 16th Century and was the palace of a prince descended from Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.  Due to careful preservation over the centuries, the architectural features and character of the traditional palace remain intact.

Sichuan Restaurant occupied the place from 1959 to 1996 and it was the first and only restaurant specializing in Sichuan cuisine at that time.  For 37 years, it was reputed to be the best Sichuan restaurant in Beijing and was a particular favorite place of China paramount leader Mr. Deng Xiao Ping who is a native from Sichuan province.

On September 21, 1996, The China Club Beijing was officially opened at the site.  Among celebrities who flew in to attend were Kevin Costner, Duchess of York and Michael Caine.  The China club is a joint-cooperative project between the government owned Beijing Tourism Group and The China Club, Beijing, an amalgam of shareholders led by Mr. David Tang, a successful businessman from Hong Kong.

The Club boasts an area of 10,000 square metres of four main courtyards and surrounded by a series of inter-connected pavilions.  Extensive renovation and carefully furnished Chinese antiques have restored the buildings back to its royal ambience and glory.  A three-storey Chinese pavilion was added to the complex in 1998.  This pavilion houses our eight uniquely designed members' suites as well as The Sichuan Pavilion, a strategically located restaurant which provides an opportunity for non-members to sample our Sichuan specialties.

Members enjoy their exclusive access to our banqueting facilities ranging from Chinese parlours for intimate dinners, fully serviced meetings/exhibitions to gala dinners for 200 guests.  The club serves regional Chinese specialties including Sichuanese, Shanghainese and Cantonese cuisine meticulously prepared by our renowned chefs.  A selection of Western cuisine is available in The Long March Bar, a cigar/library lounge for those who desire for a change of taste.

Our members are well-educated professionals and elite from all over the world including politicians, royalties, entrepreneurs, artists and senior executives of multi-national corporations.

Monthly activities such as theme dinners, wine tasting cocktail receptions and family gatherings are organized for members to get together for business and social networking.
