Beijing: Standing at an eatery tucked into a Beijing hutong, Chinese President Xi Jinping checked the day's menu and prices, and asked about meal services for seniors. At a nearby senior apartment, he inquired about residents' health checkups, rehabilitation programs, and daily care.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the visit to an elderly care service zone in Xicheng District on Tuesday as part of a two-day Spring Festival inspection tour. The Spring Festival is China's most important traditional holiday, symbolizing a time of renewal, warmth, and the strengthening of family bonds.
