For Indian food in Beijing, I like the Raj Pavilion on Gulouxi Dajie. Not sure if they have a buffet... There are a couple other Indian restaurants here that do have buffets.
Shish kabob: there is a decent Lebanese / Palestinian restaurant just east of Ritan Park. Also there are a number of Xinjiangese (is that a word?) restaurants in Beijing. Their food has a kind of Turkish/Arabic/Middle Eastern flavor and they have a kind of kabob. Finally you can get all kinds of grilled stuff on skewers

at the Japanese restaurants here.s

I think it's pretty cool that they are building ghost cities. They must look pretty cool, all transparent and shit. The Chinese have a long history of taking care of their ghosts, they have their own cool movies and everything, so it's nice they finally have their own cities. I mean, ghosts were people too right? They have rights. Had rights. Or something.
Perhaps I should read the article.

isint though like the article hes talking about 'ghosts' as in they created entire cities for commerce but they lie dormant because the investment they where betting on never came and the housing boom they expected stalled?, and yeap they where people once, if you believe in that kinda thing.

Weird they were preparing for a population boom when state policy restricted population growth to negative.

I like the look of this place:
