Since Beijing Olympic Games is coming, Beijing locals want to introduce it to the foreigners. Thus, they translate it into Beijing Coke in English. However, many people object to "Beijing Coke". Why? Douzhi has nothing to do with coke. What do you think of "Beijing Coke? Can you accept it? Douzhi, salt vegetable and Jiaoquan are what Beijingese usually eat at breakfast. Look at Douzhi and salt vegetable.

Just like western people prefer to drink milk in the morning, Chinese used to have Douzhi in the morning. It is a traditional snack! Welcome foreign friends to taste it and feel the Chinese tradition.
