3. Li Qun Peking Roast Duck Restaurant
Compared to other roast duck restaurants, this one is quite special. It is located in a small Hutong in Qianmen, Dongcheng District. It is set in a little courtyard house deep in the Hutong and this is the only branch. It may be a little difficult to find but it is definitely a real Hutong experience in Beijing. However, the “duck” may help you to find it: there are pictures of ducks and arrows on the wall, so all you need to do is “follow the ducks” to get there. The décor inside this restaurant is also special. It is decorated with traditional red lanterns to mark the old Beijing.
Address: 11 Beixiangfeng, Zhengyi Lu, Northeast of Qianmen, 
Dongcheng District.
Business hours: 10:00 – 22:00
Average Cost: RMB 130 to 150 RMB per person
I hope you enjoy your trip in Beijing. Please check china travel for more information.
