A community canteen is a government-subsidized canteen that aims to bring affordability and convenience to senior citizens in urban neighborhoods and villages around China. In recent years, the canteens in urban neighborhoods have seen more and more young diners. Everyone is welcome to enjoy healthy, tasty, affordable breakfast, lunch and dinner there.

This is a picture series of CGTN's special "People's City, Better Future," taking you a closer look at residents in Beijing, showing their daily lives and joy.
