China Trip: Day 4 – Peking Duck Dinner

Beijing (formerly known as Peking) is very well known for its Peking Duck. On our last night in the city, we went to a restaurant where they presented us with an entire cooked duck, cut it in front of us & proceeded to put 3-4 plates full of duck on our table. We rolled the duck slices in thin crepes with a special dark sauce, and thin strips of celery & onions. Yum! Here’s an example of the table only half full awaiting more dishes, but it gives you an idea of what our meals were like.

After dinner, we headed back to the hotel & crashed early for the evening. The next morning, we had to catch an early flight to Shanghai.
