Peking duck is a famous dish from Beijing and is considered one of China’s national foods. It is sliced by the chef in front of the diners and served with pancakes and an assortment vegetable and sauces.

We all experience Peking duck during our first meal in Beijing at Da Dong Restaurant.

And other dishes we enjoy…
