Hot pot culture has a long history.

In ancient times, many emperors loved hot pot.

Emperor Qianlong was particularly fond of hot pot. According to records, he tasted hot pot at least 200 times a year.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month of the 30th year of Qianlong's reign, the first course for breakfast was bird's nest with red and white duck, as well as southern hot pot; and the dinner also started with a bird's nest and duck hot pot.

From these details, we can see the popularity of hot pot at that time.

This love for hot pot spread from the court to the people, and gradually became a popular delicacy.

Now, hot pot culture has been integrated into people's lives.

Hot pot is often chosen for birthday parties, family dinners, and drinks with friends.

Everyone sat together and shared the steaming food.

In winter, eating hot pot can keep you warm from the cold; in summer, eating hot pot with iced drinks is also fun.

The lively and shared cultural atmosphere of hot pot makes it the first choice for everyone.

The opening of the Forbidden City Corner Restaurant has attracted great attention.

Its decoration is very distinctive.

The walls in the restaurant are covered with portraits of emperors and empresses, and the style is very "cute".

The paintings are also accompanied by interesting sayings characteristic of the Forbidden City, such as "I'm hungry" and so on.

The most eye-catching wall in the restaurant is painted with a scene of Emperor Qianlong holding a grand banquet, which makes people feel like they are in ancient times.

The dishes served in the restaurant are also unique.

The menu is designed in the style of an imperial edict, which is very creative.

The soup base of Marigold Flower Pot is unique, and the ingredients it contains, such as the outer ribs of Horqin beef and fresh mutton cut by Sunit's hands, are all very expensive.

Staple foods like noodles and vermicelli also cost 22 yuan.

The overall consumption is on the high side, which is why it is controversial among the public.

The Forbidden City Corner Restaurant has been booming since its opening.

According to relevant reports, the business hours of this hot pot restaurant are from 5:30 pm to 10 pm.

The reservation situation is very tight, and the telephone reservation quota before March 10th is full. If you want to dine, you have to wait in line on site. There are only 30 seats available every night, which is extremely rare.

Many diners come here for the cultural heritage and unique dining atmosphere of the Forbidden City.

The restaurant was crowded, reflecting both the cultural appeal of the Forbidden City and its lack of accommodation space.

This sparked widespread discussion about whether more restaurant space should be added and how to solve the problem of excessive foot traffic.

The Forbidden City Corner Restaurant has received mixed reviews.

Some netizens believe that the Forbidden City uses hot pot and other popular delicacies to promote culture. This approach is very popular, attracting many tourists and bringing novel experiences.

This also opens up new ways for the cultural dissemination of the Forbidden City.

However, the higher prices also deter many diners.

Compared with ordinary hot pot restaurants, the prices of the dishes here are indeed on the higher side.

For example, the prices of soup bases, meats and staple foods mentioned above.

Many customers feel that the price does not match the dining experience and the price/performance ratio is low.

Hot pot occupies a very important position in the catering world.

In 2015, the "Chinese Hot Pot Big Data Report" released by Dianping.com revealed that the number of hot pot restaurants nationwide has been significantly greater than other cuisines such as Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine.

Hot pot restaurants can be seen everywhere in prosperous areas of cities and on the streets of small counties.
