The video rooms have been open since Jan. 2. If successful, the chain hopes to expand the service to other provinces, or even other countries. In addition to the food, customers pay 200 yuan per hour for using the room.
''The video rooms have been fully booked in February,'' said Chen Yu, manager of the Wangfujing branch. The Video room in Beijing is about 30 square meters and large enough for six customers.
''Many customers prefer to use the room for dinners rather than lunch,'' Chen said, adding the average age of customers who booked the video hotpot(火锅) is about 30.
''The whole process is very smooth. The image and the voice transmission(转换) are as good as those of video conferencing at work, ''said one of Chen's colleagues surnamed Luo.
''I have a lot of friends in Beijing, whom I haven’t met for a long time because of being busy at work,'' said a woman surnamed Yu who is having dinner with her husband at Haidilao.''The new service gives us a chance to have a dinner together without traveling. I would like to give it a try.''
The video hotpot also helped establish a friendship between waitresses in the two cities.
Zhao Huanhuan, in her 20s, who is specially trained for serving in the video room in Shanghai, developed a friendship with a waitress named Lu Ke in the Beijing branch.
Zhao said excitedly: ''It was too amazing to believe. I'm so interested in using the special room and enjoy serving people there. I also talk about some interesting interactive games with Lu before guests come for dinner''.
Although Lu felt a little bit nervous when she first served in front of the screens, she said the new mode of communication also encouraged her to supply better services for customers.
''It's like a service competition. We saw each other through video and I could learn from Zhao's serving,'' Lu said, adding she will visit Zhao if she goes to Shanghai.
It seems that video hotpot doesn't satisfy everyone's taste, however

The first Chinese Western-style adventure，Ke Ke Xi Li，a popular film，is based on a true story about a group of volunteers trying to protect endangered antelopes from poachers hunting them down．

There were more than one million Tibetan antelope，or“Chiru”，in Ke Ke Xi Li before 1985，but the price of their fine wool rose with demand for pashmina shawls．Poachers crowded to the wilderness，called Hoh Xil in Mongol，and the number of Tibetan antelope fell to less than 20,000 in just a few years．From 1993 onwards，local Tibetan and Han people formed a volunteer team to protect the animals．They left their families to risk their lives battling against well-armed poachers in the wilderness．

The movie starts with the death of a member of the team and shows them tracking the poachers．They find more than 1,000 antelope corpses（尸体）on the way and meet with a series of difficulties：broken down jeeps，running out of gasoline，shortage of food and mountain passes blocked by heavy snow．

The volunteers defend the protected region of Ke Ke Xi Li in Tibet，however，many poachers are determined and will do whatever they can to get what they want，including killing the volunteers．The area is rough，the enemy is well hidden，and the air is thin…ultimately，several volunteers，including the team leader，Ritai，give their lives．

After the volunteers’ death，China founded Hoh Xil Nature Reserve to protect Tibetan antelope and named a natural conservation station for the leader of the team．
