Five of us enjoyed Thanksgiving in the lobby of Zhanjiang's only 5-star hotel, The Crowne Plaza.
We almost fell over when we saw a roasted turkey on the buffet. We arrived at 6:30 p.m. and were stuffed when we left at 9:00 p.m.
The Crowne Plaza is a great setting, the food is quite good and beer (as much as you want) is always included in the charge.
The meal cost us a stunning 100 RMB per person (about $12.75) with no tax or service charge attached.
Matt asked the waitress -- Mindy, a recent graduate of No. 15 Middle School -- to take the photo.

I should add that Brenda is a vegetarian, but the very site of the turkey made her a carnivore for the day.
Be well,
