It may be housed in a retired passenger jet, but China's latest fine-dining restaurant has more on the menu than the typical mile-high cuisine.
Located on a German-style street in Wuhan — the capital of Hubei province — Lily Airways is the brainchild of Chinese tycoon Li Yang, who reportedly spent 35 million yuan to convert a retired Boeing 737 into a restaurant.

Passengers enter through an authentic airbridge and are also given the chance to try out a flight simulator in the cockpit for an extra 100 yuan ($20).
