New York-based Zagat Survey, the world's leading provider of consumer survey-based leisure content, announced on Tuesday the release of its first-ever guide to Beijing. 

The guide includes ratings and reviews for 432 of the city's finest restaurants, hotels, nightspots, shops and tourist attractions. The information given in the book is based on a survey of 1,244 Beijingers. 

Our reporter Dan Dan talked with Tim and Nina Zagat, the couple who co-founded the Zagat Survey.
