The history of the duck of roast of Peking can be climbed back up until the origin of as the Dynasty of Yuan (1206-1368) when it was enumerated among the imperial dishes in the Complete Recipes for Dishes and the Drinks, writes in 1330 by Hu Sihui, an inspector of the imperial kitchen.

In the 15th first century, when the capital of Dynasty of Ming was changed Nanjing to Peking, the roast duck remained one of the dishes celebrate on the menus of imperial court. According to the local history, the most first restaurant of duck of roast was at Peking the old Restaurant of Bianyifang, that opened during the reign of Jiajing (1522-1566). (The information for your trip of China and the vacation) Distinct of the method in which the duck is hung of a hook in the ceiling of the oven and roasted on and roasted on burning wood, the Old Restaurant of Bianyifang roasted its ducks with the heat radiating. The oven walls first were heated with the stems of sorgho after which the duck was placed to the interior and cooked by the heat broadcasted by the walls. A roasted duck in this manner is crunchy to the key and to the gilded chestnut in the appearance; his flesh is to stretch and savoureuse.
There are literally dozens of restaurants that serve the roast duck, but maybe it the more better known is Quanjude and Bianyifang. Each of the two have a different method of preparation, but every products a delicious result. Quanjude roasts their ducks on burning wood while Bianyifang roasts its ducks using the heat radiating walls of oven.

Quanjude has several stores to Peking and the most famous the one is the Qianmen (the portal of Qian) Quanjude. The Qianmen Quanjude is not only a restaurant to eat the roast ducks, but also a place of attraction of tourist now. The furnishings here very "Traditional Chinese" and you can feel the charm of the Chinese culture here. There are 30 pieces of VIP and 1 president lodges in this restaurant. (The information for your turns of China and the vacation) The the president piece is the place where the Chinese leaders suit the foreign leaders. A lot of famous people were here. An interesting thing that I found is that you can write to some Chinese charaters in the duck body with a Chinese writing the brush before it is roasted. These charaters will appear then in your duck of finished roast. Rather funny! : -) There is an old store in this restaurant of Quanjude and you can find the look of the Quanjuede in 1930 there.
