Foodies who are eager to sample delicious Chinese food must not miss the newly published book - The Guide to La Liste's Top Chinese Restaurants.

But French gastronomic classification La Liste (The list) is known as 'the guide of the guides', and offers relatively authoritative and fair guides," says food and wine critic Xie Ling based in Beijing, one of the book's co-authors.
