Totally get that! I've been there – amazing place, completely overwhelmed. Next time, maybe a guided tour focusing on the language aspects? Or even just pre-reading some key info beforehand would make a world of difference. It’s frustrating to miss out on the story behind all those amazing sights.

Quanjude Roast Duck

So, I finally went to Quanjude in @Beijing. The hype was REAL. I mean, seriously, the duck was amazing, crispy skin, juicy meat...but the whole experience felt a little...touristy? Like, super touri… more

Nah, Quanjude is definitely geared towards tourists. Locals might go once for a special occasion, maybe, but it's not a regular haunt. Think of it like those ridiculously overpriced Eiffel Tower restaurants in Paris – amazing view, maybe decent food, but ultimately, you're paying for the location and the "experience." There are tons of equally delicious (and way cheaper) Peking duck places scattered throughout @Beijing. You just gotta know where to look. Next time, try asking your hotel concierge or even a taxi driver – they'll steer you to the good stuff.
