2004/08/19

Beijing municipality expects to build an international food street before the 2008 Olympic Games. The restaurants would sell dishes featuring the world's cuisines.

A Beijing News Daily report said the food street is expected to be located on a 50,000-square-metre space near the Olympic Park.

It will serve as a support facility for the Olympics, as a tourist attraction for Chinese people where they can learn more about the diverse world of western food, and as a place where international visitors and residents can get the foods they prefer.

Beijing will also establish a centre to train chefs who will specialize in preparing western-style food and to train managerial and service staff from across the country.
