No.10 Chang Yung-Fa Foundation Phoenix Hotel
Last year, Chang Yung-Fa Foundation Phoenix Hotel specially invited chefs from the iconic Beijing roast duck institution “Quanjude Roast Duck” to collaborate and launch the “Quanjude Roast Duck Banquet,” which caused quite a stir among food enthusiasts. However, due to technical limitations at the time, they were unable to fully replicate Quanjude’s production process, which left some netizens slightly disappointed.

Their roast duck is undoubtedly their signature dish. Yi Yuan serves their sliced duck with distinctive sauces and innovative pairings that truly wow diners.

No.8 Song Chu Restaurant
Shaving the duck meat into thin slices, served with scallion segments, sweet bean sauce, and wrapped in lotus leaf pancakes — this traditional preparation method is a hallmark that Song Chu Restaurant steadfastly maintains. But foodies looking to try their roast duck should take note: the restaurant is notoriously hard to book, often fully reserved even a month in advance. So what are you waiting for? Make a reservation now!

This eatery offers both hanging oven and closed-oven styles. The former emphasizes crispy skin, while the latter focuses on tender meat. The closed-oven method delivers a taste completely different from what you may be used to. Curious about the difference? Go find out for yourself.
