Pacific Asian Plaza will soon welcome a Korean-Chinese restaurant called Jin Jin. According to a representative, this eatery will serve popular Korean-Chinese dishes like jjajangmyeon (famously enjoyed by BTS member RM) and tangsuyuk, a sweet-and-sour pork dish.
Steamed dumplings are soft and silky, encasing succulent seafood morsels in a light natural sea broth. Additionally, their whole-flaked fried fish is quite enjoyable as well.

Jinshui Bridge
At Kunming Lake’s Summer Palace on its eastern bank is this 17-arch bridge connecting Nanhu Island and South Lake Island, known as Nanhu-South Lake Bridge. As its longest span in the garden, its railings feature over 500 stone lions posed differently on them; also featured on this bridge is its bronze ox, designed ostensibly as flood control but now more commonly referred to as The Golden Ox.
The ox symbolizes longevity and the power to overcome all difficulties, as one of several ox-related symbols that appear throughout a garden’s sculptures and architecture. Furthermore, this animal represents the Chinese philosophy of harmony between man and nature, wherein humans must co-exist peacefully rather than compete for dominance over its elements.
This bridge boasts a nine-turn design typical of Chinese gardens. These bridges generally lead to ponds or lakes in the garden and are typically constructed out of stone with guard rails for added protection. Their curved shapes allow people to take in views on both sides while simultaneously giving them the experience of walking over water.
This garden bridge is one of the earliest examples of cantilever technology being applied in bridge building, enabling builders to construct complex structures that were lighter and stronger than traditional pier-and-beam designs. Furthermore, this garden bridge serves as an exemplary hybrid bridge design, which blends both aspects into its construction.
This bridge was an essential link for entering China’s Forbidden City – home to China’s central leadership and Great Hall of the People – as well as one of several sites during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests when government troops killed hundreds; additionally, it is home to a memorial dedicated to all who perished during those protests.
Wengongfang
The Wengongfang (Little Dragon) is an exquisite building created to showcase the splendor and beauty of Jin state. Inspired by water giants of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, its jade pillars with stone inlays featuring plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and lotus carvings provide an impressive passageway leading to the Jinyuan Scenic Area.
Its artistic conception is striking, drawing visitors’ attention to Quwo culture while at the same time showing its heavy integrity and long history. Additionally, this building encourages moral sentiments by spreading righteousness, thus making this one worth visiting for those interested in Jin culture or visiting scenic areas.
