Beijing Roast Duck
there is an old saying that if you come to Beijing without the taste of
Beijing Roast Duck just like you have not been here. Tourist who come to
Beijing all want to have a taste Beijing Roast Duck, because it is the
most typical local flavored food in Beijing with a history of over 600
years, dating back to the Ming Dynasty. The duck dinner served together
with some thin pancakes, green onions and sweet soybean paste. That is
really wonderful taste!
Hutong
has a long history in Beijing. As the Forbidden City is the symbol of
China's royal family, the zigzag Hutongs in Beijing show the real life
of the common people. When you visit Hutong by rickshaw, you could
really taste the life of common people in Beijing. Old houses, narrow
streets, small courtyard and traditional quadrangle along the Hutong all
attract your attention. You could really feel that Hutong culture not
only influences local people’s way of living, but also influences their
thoughts and actions.
Lao She’s Teahouse
This is one exciting
cultural place at Qianmen off the main tourist itinerary. It is named
after the drama Teahouse by Chinese author, Lao She. Although an attempt
to give a taste of a Beijing tea-house during Lao She’s time, it has
instead transformed into a wonderful entertainment house with short
shows by comedians, singers, musicians, acrobats and opera performers.
