Occasionally When Eating Out,

orders can take a tad longer than you might expect, 


but when you eat at world’s largest hot pot restaurant it is bound to happen!

Pipa Yuan (‘Loquat Garden‘ in Chinese), is huge and the fact that it is located on a steep hillside, diners can take up to 30 minutes from the parking lot at the bottom of the hill to one of the 888 tables currently available at the restaurant,


located in the Nan’an district, on the outskirts of Chongqing, covers an area of ​​3,300 square meters, most diners require directions to locate their reserved table among the hundreds of tables available, Pipa Yuan had long been praised as the largest hot pot restaurant in the world, but last year Guinness Records made the title official, and despite the massive capacity of the restaurant finding a table without a reservation, especially during spring and summer, is almost impossible,

Pipa Yuan is just as busy at night as in the daytime, as many tourists come to experience at night, because of all the colourful light fixtures that bring the entire hillside to life, as for the hot pot, according to online reviews, it is one of the best with its fresh ingredients, and checking the bill is not usually a problem, there are 25 cashiers! Table for 2 please, but not to near the top!
