Beijing, the capital of the Peoples Republic of China serves as the political, economic, travel, cultural & transportation center of the nation. In the last few years great strides have been taken to satisfy the dynamic growth & increasing demand for a wide choice of cuisine. Compounded by the 2008 Olympic games and the millions of visitors it will bring, Beijing has been sprucing up every aspect of dining in the city, including translations and photos of dishes on restaurant menus to concerns of sanitation and hygiene. Customers are now enjoying one of the largest, and some of the best, choices of cuisine anywhere in Asia.

The Great Wall, one the most famous Marvels in the world is an attraction that shouldn't be missed by visitors to Beijing.

Beijing offers customers an unlimited variety of Chinese cuisine. China's capital has had it's  cuisine shaped by the influence of other areas of the country as well as other nations. The city supports a vast culinary arena where almost any delicacy from any part of the world is readily available. With that, local cuisine is still the hands down favorite with the signature dish still being Beijing Roast Duck.

It is said, "there are two things that you must do when visiting Beijing". First, take a walk on the Great Wall and the other is to enjoy the roast duck. After walking up the Great Wall, you're sure to get hungry and there's no better way to satisfy your appetite than to enjoy the roasted duck! After trying this dish, most people agree that there is nothing like it. The duck is perfectly roasted with a bronzed crispy skin and tender, delicious meat. There is probably more than a hundred restaurants that serve this famous dish, but perhaps the best known are Quanjude and Bianyifang. Each of the two has a different method of preparation, but each produces a delicious result. Quanjude roasts their ducks over burning wood while Bianyifang roasts its ducks using radiant heat from the oven walls.
