If you travel to Beijing, you must do two things: one is to climb the Great Wall, the other is to eat Beijing Roast Duck. The famous Peking Duck, once confined to the palace, is now available in hundreds of restaurants in Beijing.

Peking Duck originated in the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago. Cooks from all over the country were chosen to come to the capital to cook for the emperor.

Cooking in the palace is considered a great honor, and only a good cook can get the job. In fact, it was these palace chefs who perfected the culinary art of Peking Duck.
