CHINA DAILY (Beijing) 25 November 05 Serving salamander
A restaurant in Beijing's Zhaolong Hotel now sells giant salamander meat, a class two national protected species in China. Its meat sells at 2,180 yuan (US$269) per 500 grams, which equates to around 888 yuan (US$110) per serving. However, the eatery is not breaking the law because the giant salamanders are not wild but imported from an aquaculture company in South China. It has got license from the city government.
