Peking Duck
is a Beijing area specialty once served only to the royal court.

| Peking Duck preparation in Beijing, China. |
Here the duck is hung above an open fire to cook, unlike the more common Cantonese crispy-skin duck which is baked or roasted in an oven. The skin is crispy with little fat and the meat is lean and tender.

Quanjude RoastDuck Restaurant
No. 18 Putang Rd., Fangzhuang, 010-67602008. My tour group ate here. We were able to watch the chef carve our duck.
It was served with plum sauce and scallions and the traditional pancakes. It was the star, but only part of the extensive feast we enjoyed.
