Do you know the name/location of this restroom, with these red lady-shaped sinks?

The restaurant was located just outside the west side of the Forbidden City in Beijing (China).
The photographer "redhawk1700" took the photo some years ago and doesn't recall the name of the restaurant anymore.

Thanks for your help!

only got one day in beijing what is the best way to see as many sites as possible

Does anyone know where I can find good beer in China? I'll be visiting Beijing and Shanghai next month, and I'd like to check out the beer scene if there is one

I have found cheap tickets online to Beijing for Christmas and New Year 2013/2014. We would like to stay a couple of days in Beijing and then go somewhere nice for sun and beaches. We have been searching for cheap flight tickets from Beijing to Bali, elsewhere in Indonesia, Philippines, etc, but it is hard make a decent search when we are not sure about where we want to go. All we know is Beijing as the departure city and low cost flights to a beach.

Does anyone know a nice and sunny place where flight tickets are cheap from Beijing?

We have already been to Thailand and Malaysia so we would like to try a differt country. Another stop a couple of days in Seoul or Hong Kong might be possible as well so cheap flights from there to nice beaches would also be an option.

Thank you from Lena
