About Gong De Lin / Godly (功德林)

Founded in 1922, Shanghai's most legendary vegetarian restaurant. Writer Lu Xun was a regular in the 1920s. Famous for extraordinary mock meats — the vegetarian duck and crispy fish slices are so realistic they fool even devoted meat-eaters. A living piece of Chinese culinary history.
