Lamb Spine Hotpot, or Yang Xiezi, is one of Beijing's most satisfying group meals. It is rich, warming, and built around bone-in lamb simmered until the broth becomes full of marrow and spice.

This topic is intentionally practical. It covers broth choice, eating order, side dishes, and sauce because those details affect the meal more than simply knowing the dish name.
