BEIJING

Claws of Canada

Lobster lovers have a feast in store through the end of January, as the Cantonese restaurant group Tang Palace hosts its monthlong lobster festival. All 58 of the chain's seafood eateries across the country are serving winter-season Canadian lobsters for 98 yuan ($16) per 500 grams, which is about one-third of the regular price. On Friday, the Tang Palace at Full Link Plaza in Beijing will hold a lucky draw. All diners that evening will get a prepaid expense card for the restaurant or other gift, and the luckiest will get free round-trip flight tickets to Canada.

4/F, Full Link Plaza Building B, 18 Chaoyangmen Waiin Beijing; 010-6588-9388.
