The Top Three Traditional Beijing Food 


Peking Roast Duck is the most typical Beijing dish, which stems from the Southern and Northern Dynasties and has a history of nearly 1600 years. After special roasted, the duck is very crispy on the outside and tender but not greasy on the inside. The whole roasted duck would be sliced into more than a hundred of pieces with different cutting skills and there are some orders to have this dish. Firstly, you can just dip the crispy skin into white sugar. Then you can try to put two or three pieces of meat on the pancakes, with the sweet sauce, cucumbers, green onions and some other amazing ingredients together and then roll up to enjoy it.



Noodles with Soy Bean Paste in Beijing Style is a well-known and popular Chinese traditional dish. You can put the main ingredients such as soy sauce, silversides, green onion, boiled soybean and other fixings you like.








Bao Du is one famous Beijing delicacies. Typically the lamb tripe is a common traditional snack. The half-finished lamb tripe needs to be put into boiling water no more than 10 seconds, otherwise, it will be too tough to chew. The source with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste and oil, fermented bean curd, shrimp sauce and other ingredients such as chopped green onion, garlic juice and chilli oil could be a good match.
