Chinar is the local name for the Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis), abundant in the region and part of local life for generations. The name has inspired the creation of a new dining destination, a modern tea house that offers several bars and pan-Asian dining options. Located inside a light glass and timber building, the holistic design looks to deliver a theatrical vision of the myths, legends and cultures found along the ancient Silk Road.
