The Biggest Chinese Restaurant in the World⎜WHY STORIES⎜(Documentary)
The 5000-seater West Lake Restaurant, in the city of Changsha in China, is the
biggest Chinese restaurant in the world. It has a staff of 1000 and serves no fewer than 150 ducks per day and 200 snakes per week.
Old traditions and new money come together in a vibrant and colorful exploration of modern China. Between mouth-watering and ‘exotic’ Chinese food and the motivational mottos
chanted by the staff, the series examines how China has been transformed over
the last few decades. It also poses the question: In this new affluent and
ambitious China, who is thriving and who is left behind?
Directed by Lawrence Elman & Weijun Chen

You may have seen the full version of this documentary, and are wondering why some parts of the film are missing. Don’t worry, we can explain:
WHY STORIES is comprised of pre-existing documentary films which we buy and edit into 45 minute films to broadcast on TV. In this way, WHY STORIES extends the lifespan of high-quality films while simultaneously expanding their viewership by reaching out to new audiences. Where funding permits, THE WHY also makes local dubbed language versions of the films, removing a prevalent barrier for many people to access independent information; particularly for those who are unable to read, write or speak additional languages besides their mother tongue.
This film is part of the WHY STORIES-series. To find out more about the other films in our series head to thewhy.dk

Imagine being skinned alive and cut but not deep enough to kill you so you can be dipped in a boiling oil so your flesh can be consumed…….
This must be at least 20 years old. Almost is a history. Wonder what are they up to nowadays.
Yet I feel sad. For the waitress and waiters, bus boys and dish washers who cleans things up when the merry making is done.
This gives the audience a great insight into the life and culture of the Chinese people. These people work hard and honest in their living. It is not exactly the same as the West therefore we should understand and respect it.
The Buddhist Way To Follow. This hotel does not practice ethical slaughtering of animals. Its pissing public. Fish should be quick freeze death b4 cooking., chicken should be ordered from frozen slaugther house, so chef are not forced to kill them therefore emotionally making them feel bad. Snake dish should not be serve, maybe change to frozen packed eel dish. Chef should not be force to slaughter food animals.
Order frosen chicken so your restaurant don't have to kill animals directly
Impressive how she built this restaurant and the quite liberal way she presents herself. Kissing her husband in public is for Chinese social norms exceptional.
if the restaurant is in China, wouldn't it just be a restaurant, not a Chinese restaurant?
no humanity, I wish all were vegeterian
How she become a owner of that restaurant still not revealed🙄.
Well done, producers and everybody. I am an impatient person. Most movies or videos I watch a little and get bored. This one I watched from beginning to end.
Oh my, does America has this?
I was the cooperate chef of the biggest restaurant in China until 12 years ago. We did approx 8000 guesses a day lunch and dinner. I have 350 cooks on the flag ship store. It is 250000 sq. Ft.
Fried raw fish from the biggest chinese restaurant
A three-storey Chinese restaurant?
.
That's Wong on so many levels.
What time was this made?
why they don't buy a dishwasher?
Who is thriving, and who is left behind?
Thanks for filming and uploading!
We are socialism country wih China characteristic, so now CCP is mitigating poverty after some takes the lead to get rich!
A lot of works need to be done to improve grassroots life quality and basic rights!
PS: 饮食文化在中国很注重，很盛行（自我感觉），现在还停留在后温饱时代。希望以后我们也想其他发达国家一样，更加注重其他方面（读者脑补）。

People don’t know what hard work is complaining they don’t have the latest phone etc
poor people: work hard to get money,
government: print money to get easy money and let the poor people to even work harder hard is not enough these days!!!!
Wow! Isn't it on a scale I read only only on wuxia/ xianxia novels?!
So much animal abuse in that restaurant. It's despicable.
General manager is an idiot. If you don't know why such a high turn over rate equates she is not engaged in the day to day operations. What a fool!
I like how the bride admits to being a gold digger! Honesty !
I believe that the Chinese culture is very refined… I praise its latitude.
team work its everthing awesome
Who run the world – girls! 💖
What the hell….. The food is still moving while served…..
做那麼殘忍都菜，放幾多生都無用啦。自欺欺人
As a Chinese, I have to say our food is going with philosophy from ancient time till now. Traditional Chinese medicine believe the food and the medicine are homologous. That is, different thing has its own specific function. That's why you can find many things even some poison from the doctor's prescription. But it has been existing for thousands years, I also believe it is useful.
By the way, this video must be old. You can not find an employee with only pay RMB1000 per month. My hometown locates in countryside also, and the villagers can get RMB 4000 one month if they work in the town for the same jobs.
Anyway, hope you can visit our country by yourself. You can have your own idea then instead of heard from others .
作为一个中国人，我觉得中国人什么都吃是有原因的，其中一个就是中医讲究药食同源。也就是说每个东西都会有它特别的作用。这也是你能在中医开的药方里发现不同药材的原因，有的甚至是有毒的。但是它已经存在了几千年，我也相信它是对的。
另外，我觉得这个视频是很久以前的了。一个员工说她每个月能拿一千块的工资，这在现在是不可能雇的到人的。我老家也在农村，要是村里的人去附近的县城打工，同样的工作，他们怎么着也能拿4、5千块钱。
总之，希望大家自己去中国看一下，你就会有你自己的观点。欢迎你到中国来！
Welcome to China！
Mao Zhe Dong must be turning in his grave. Despite his communist revolution, the Chinese people of today are returning to the bourgeois joys of their cultural past. Hahahahahahahaha.
Peking Dog anyone?
The way these people treat animals is truly disgusting. Shame on them.
The West Lake is absolutely momumental. Just imagine a football stadium of a restaurant… I also love how they touch on the personal lives of the workers outside the job. Truly humbling.
Wow… so you chop up a never ending amount of animals for profit but you throw a handful back in the river to 'feel better about yourself'…. ridiculous.
She is an amazing woman.
