According to the legend, Genghis Khan, the first emperor of Yuan Dynasty, once led his army for an expedition in a severe winter. Due to urgent military situation, the soldiers had no time to do the cooking. Hitting upon an idea in emergency, they butchered sheep, cut the mutton in half-frozen slices with saber, and put them into pots filled with boiling water. Since then, the way of cooking instant-boiled mutton spread far and wide in China.
 

Donglaishun was established in 1903. It is the most famous hotpot restaurant in the city. The instant boiled mutton in Donglaishun has characters of fine selected lamb, cooked in hot pot, with full gradients served with special sweet and crisp pickle garlic. The lamb is selected only from 1-1.5 years old, short tail and black head sheep in XiLinGeLe region, inner Mongolia. The lamb is sliced by machine, it is tender, fresh, as thin as a paper and as delicate as a silk handkerchief. This restaurant is located in Wangfujing Street which is one of the largest and most well-known shopping areas within walking distance to the Tiananmen Square.
