'''The beer garden Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower) is located in the English Garden (Englischer Garten), Munich's largest leisure park. With a size of 417ha, English Garden is larger than Hide Park in London or Central Park in New York. Due to its close proximity to the university, the beer garden attracts a young crowd which intermingles with people looking for rest and relaxation as well as tourists.'''

Chinesischer Turm beer garden is the second largest beer garden in Munich and has about 7,000 seats in the self-serviced area and about 500 seats in the serviced area. Guests of the self-serviced area can sit on regular beer benches, some of which even have backrests. The tables are arranged around the tower. The food stalls offer traditional beer garden food such as Steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick), Hendl (roasted chicken), Schweinshaxn (roasted pork knuckle), [[Obatzda]] and [[Auszogne]]. The beer served is [[Hofbräu]] and a [[Maß]] Hell (lager) costs EUR 7.00. <!-- april 2011 -->
 
On weekends brass-bands perform live on the first floor of the tower. Majour football tournaments are shown on big screens in the beer garden. WLAN is provided to all guests.
 
A highlight of Chinesischer Turm is the ''Kocherlball'', which is always held on the 3rd Sunday in July (if the weather is bad a week later). The Kocherlball is held in memory of the servants of the noble families of the 19th century. In the late 19th century, up to 5,000 Munich servants met during the summer months every Saturday morning for a dance at the Chinese Tower. Usually they met before work between 4am and 5am. Today the Kocherlball takes place on the 3rd Sunday in July (if the weather is bad a week later) from 5.30am to 10am. The ball attracts thousands of participants of which many wear historical outfits and Bavarian costumes.
 
Before or after a cool Maß guests can enjoy a coach ride through the park, starting directly at the entrance of the beer garden. Since over 40 years [http://www.kutschen-muenchen.de kutschen-muenchen.de] Hans Holzmann and his team offers tours in traditional carriages.
