Chinanews, Beijing, Aug. 24 – According to China Youth Daily, the first “dark restaurant” in Guangzhou was opened recently, and it immediately became a favorite rendezvous1 for young people.

 

Yao Wei, the manager of the restaurant, said on Wednesday that young people were reluctant to take with each other face to face, so the restaurant with its dark rooms should provide a good opportunity for them to communicate with each other.

 

The world’s first “dark restaurant” was set up by a blind priest in Switzerland in 1999. The priest hoped his restaurant could provide a special venue2 for blind people.

 

Yao said that his restaurant was not the first of its kind in China, for many such restaurants had been set up in Beijing and Shanghai. He said that people became belly-gods in the dark, and his restaurant wouldn’t provide any spicy3 food.

 

Many customers of the restaurant are colleagues and friends, many of them unmarried. Yao revealed that people could also eat in the lamplights. Dong Shiming, a professor from Guangdong University, said that young people could talk with each other with greater ease in a dark place.
