Perhaps having been to Deyuan a few nights beforehand set the bar too high. We were looking forward to our second duck dinner but left really disappointed. We had a very grumpy waitress and the portion size was tiny. Wouldn't recommend. Go to Deyuan instead....More

This is clearly a local favorite, as people line up and wait hours to get in. But the wait is worth it. Superbly roasted duck, excellent vegetables, authentic atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Thanks to Trip Advisor for this recommendation. A recommended place for a taste of the famous Peking duck. Go early to avoid the long queue. If not, still a good worthwhile wait.

I found this through Condé Nast Traveler, so I was expecting something pretty fancy and expensive (as a college student not what I'm looking for), but this was not the case. Relative to the US, the meal was pretty cheap, especially when split four ways....More

Get your tour guide or seek the assistance if the Renaissance to do this. They have a private dining area in the 1st floor that you might request.
