Beijing roast duck is a world-renowned Beijing dish that originated during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. The “Food Treasure Record” already records grilled duck, which was a famous palace dish at that time. The material used is high-quality meat duck, roasted with fruit wood charcoal fire, with a rosy color, fat but not greasy meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Beijing roast duck is divided into two major schools, and the most famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing is also a representative of both schools. It is known as the “world’s delicacy” due to its bright red color, tender meat, mellow taste, and fat but not greasy characteristics.Beijing Roast Duck Encyclopedia
