Smoked Duck of Tangqi

Smoked Duck of Tangqi

　　Smoked Duck of Tangqi, also known as Tangqi Pressed Duck. It boasts a bright reddish hue, tender and flavorful meat, and a uniquely fragrant aroma. As early as the early years of the Republic of China, it was already a traditional specialty of Yuhang County.

　　The production of Tangqi smoked duck is highly intricate, requiring over ten processing steps. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the technique for making Tangqi smoked duck was once lost. In the early 1980s, the Tangqi Food Center Station established a smoked duck factory in an effort to revive this traditional delicacy, bringing this renowned product back to prominence. Although the smoked duck factory no longer exists, the technique has been passed down among the people, and some skilled artisans have opened private workshops. Their smoked duck is even better than before, further enhancing the fame of this dish.
