Intro:

Zagat Survey, LLC, the world's leading provider of consumer survey-based leisure content, today announced the release of its first-ever guide to Beijing. Based on the collective opinions of 1,244 surveyors, the guide includes ratings and reviews for 432 of the city's finest restaurants, hotels, nightspots, shops and tourist attractions. For travelers serious about immersing themselves in Chinese culture, the guide provides travel tips on leading museums, how to get around and phrases to use when navigating the city's menus and sites. . . .
