Moored on the Oosterdokskade between the Central Station and the NEMO Science Centre, this floating pagoda looks completely out of place in Amsterdam, but one can’t but envy its unique location. Enter via the red gate guarded by marble lions, then walk past the golden dragons and statues of what appear to be ancient emperors on your way to an unforgettable Chinese dining experience. Prices are commensurate with its exotic address and regal surroundings, but you can save plenty of cash by coming for its dim-sum lunch from 12:00 - 16:30.
