拜登离京前携孙女泡茶馆喝大红袍 煤气罐被搬出|拜登|茶馆|国子监_新闻资讯

　　昨天，美国副总统拜登在结束访华离京前到北京国子监参观游览，和孙女一起到访一家茶社，还逛了一家书店。据拜登一行到访的茶社服务人员向北京青年报记者介绍，茶社只是在拜登抵达前接到一个预订电话才得知这个消息。拜登一行在茶社点了店里的特色茶饮“大红袍”和“白茶”，停留一小时后满意而去。

　　店里煤气罐被搬出

　　拜登一行到访的国子监留贤馆服务员燕女士昨晚告诉北青报记者，茶社之前并不知情，拜登一行属于突然造访。拜登到来前，茶馆接到美方电话称“预订一个10位的大桌子”，随后来人对茶馆进行了“内部安全检查”，除了茶馆的服务人员不能再外出，茶馆里的煤气罐等设备也被搬离出去。

　　老板亲自演绎茶道

　　“大红袍”、“白茶”，拜登一行点了店里的特色茶饮，据燕女士描述，拜登一行围桌而坐，喝茶的人共有六七位，“还有很多保镖”。“由老板亲自演绎茶道。”燕女士说，他们边喝茶，边用英文交流。从照片可以看出，随行人员有拜登的孙女、美国驻华大使骆家辉夫人李蒙等。

　　“他们停留了大约一个小时的时间。”燕女士称自己不懂英文，没法听到副总统对店内茶饮的评价，不过，副总统喝茶也是要付钱的。燕女士说，“他们付了钱”，但未透露具体消费金额。北青报记者查询获悉，留贤馆的平均消费为人均六七十元。

　　据报道，拜登一行昨天还逛了国子监一家特色书店。

　　“亚洲最佳都市隐居地”

　　虽然是突然造访，但拜登选择这家茶社绝非随意。据介绍，留贤馆茶馆坐落在北京市东城区雍和宫附近的国子监街，茶馆面积约200平方米。客厅装饰古朴，室内低垂的草帘将客厅分为几间不同规格的空间，茶馆还有两间雅室。

　　2007年，美国《时代》杂志评选出了最新的10个亚洲最具特色的地方，北京留贤馆茶馆就是其中之一。《时代》杂志说，留贤馆是“亚洲最佳都市隐居地”。

　　据新华社报道，拜登昨天下午离京，结束对中国为期两天的正式访问。文/本报记者岳菲菲
