T6 is a hot pot restaurant franchise in Beijing. There, you can enjoy the hot pot specialty dish on a comfortable sofa. It is served by beautiful waitresses and handsome waiters in a fine environment. Because the restaurant is equipped with a very good A/C system, the air is fresh and clean. 

The soup in your pot is unique. It comes in three flavors: spicy, spicy and hot, and less spicy. All three stimulate your taste buds but will not hurt your stomach.
