Peking University Dining Information

When you first enter the Yanyuan, your life has a new beginning. Life is inseparable from food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Peking University not only provides a good academic atmosphere for everyone but also creates a warm and comfortable living environment for everyone. Here is a brief introduction to the dining situation of Peking University, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Overview

Peking University canteens are mainly distributed in the living area and the connecting section between the living area and the teaching building. Generally speaking, the quality of the food is good. Since the vegetables are basically from the school’s vegetable base, the quality and price are relatively satisfactory to the students. In addition, each canteen has economic dishes, each ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 yuan; the first and second floors of the farm and the Yannan canteen provide free soup for everyone.

The cafeterias of Peking University are open for three periods of time, morning, afternoon, and evening. Breakfast for Xueyi, Yiyuan, Yannan, and Xuewu is generally from 6:30 to 8:30. Boshi will serve steamed buns and soy milk in the morning. The opening hours of other restaurants are mentioned in the specific introduction of the restaurant.

2. Introduction to the cafeterias on campus

(1) Farm

As the largest canteen of Peking University and located at the intersection of various teaching buildings, the farm is very popular among students. The canteen is divided into three floors.

The first floor is self-service consumption, choose food according to your own preferences, and then check out at the exit. The variety of food here is dazzling, there are stir-fried dishes, noodles, cold dishes, etc. to choose from.

On the second floor is the flavor restaurant. 14 stalls provide representative food in traditional Chinese flavors, as well as special foods such as fried skewers, noodles, and pot rice. In addition to Tong Yuan, Muslim students can eat at the halal window on the second floor of the farm.

The third floor is the banquet hall.

The farm dishes taste good, and the price belongs to the more expensive one among the cafeterias. Since the farm is close to the second education, the dining time is relatively crowded.

(2) Xueyi Canteen

The Xueyi Canteen is close to the dormitory and is equipped with a TV. There are many kinds of dishes and flowers, and they are basically home-cooked dishes. Small stir-fries, pastries, and pasta are also commendable. The price of Xueyi’s dishes is relatively low in the cafeterias, and the dishes in the economic dishes window are very cheap, basically around one piece. The amount of dishes in the first school is relatively large, and generally, girls can eat half a serving. There are a lot of seats to learn, but due to the high-cost performance, the meal time is not long, and the meal peak is often overcrowded.

(3) Art Garden

Yiyuan’s vegetarian dishes are a highlight, including shredded potatoes, shredded bamboo shoots, tofu, and vegetarian meatballs. Among them, shredded potatoes have also won the title of "Most Popular Dishes". In addition, there are fried rice, small stir-fry, noodles, dim sum, cold dishes, lo-mei, etc. Fried rice and dim sum are especially recommended. The prices of Yiyuan’s dishes are moderate.

The variety is very rich, including chicken soup wontons, xiaolongbao, and other special breakfasts. The specialty of the noodle department is, of course, noodles. Ramen and cut noodles are classics in the noodle department. The pasta department is very small, with dense seating arrangements, and there are often long queues during peak meals.

(5) Pinewood

(6) Yannan and Yannan cuisine

Yannan has obvious geographical advantages. It is located at the intersection of the library, philosophy building, Guanghua building, and lecture hall, so there are often more people. Yannan is divided into two floors. The first floor mainly sells meals, and the second floor is filled with seats. Yannan focuses on local flavors, and also has a variety of home-cooked classics, pasta, fried rice, cold dishes, etc. You can also order meals. Signature dishes include spicy chicken wings, fried rice cakes, potstickers, etc.
To alleviate the tension in the school canteen, the Yannan Underground Restaurant, which used to be cash-consuming, was also turned into an ordinary student canteen and was renamed "Yannan Cuisine." Yannan Gourmet is located on the south side of Yannan, opposite Poxingdi Coffee, on the basement floor of the Centennial Lecture Hall. The dishes and prices are similar to those of Yannan.

(7) "Little White Room"

The Xiaobaifang near Xueyi is a temporary food selling window around the main canteen of Peking University. The food sold during the dining time is the same as in the canteen. At other times, snacks such as hand-picked cakes, pancakes, spicy tangs, and skewers are sold. Their business hours are usually late, so they are a good place for everyone to fill their stomachs at night. There is also a canteen near Xuewu that can be called Xiaobaifang, and the food served is similar. The specialty food is Niu Xuan Jiang Jiang Xiang Bing. There is also a small white room next to 34A.
