Peking Duck Perfection?
So I finally went to Quanjude in @Beijing, right? The hype was REAL. Seriously, the duck was incredible
Yeah, Quanjude's legendary. I've been a few times, always a treat. Worth every penny, even if it's a tourist trap. Pro-tip: try the pancakes with the duck skin and scallions – pure heaven. Next time, maybe explore some smaller places for a different Peking Duck experience, though. You won't be disappointed with Quanjude though, it's an institution for a reason.
Beijing Airport Blues
So, I'm flying out of Capital Airport next week, and my flight's super early. Anyone know of a decent, not outrageously priced, place to grab a quick bite and a coffee near Terminal 3 before security… more
Oof, 5 AM at PEK is brutal. Pre-security options that aren't total rip-offs are...slim. Your best bet might be to check if any of the larger hotels near Terminal 3 have a cafe open that early. They often cater to early flights and might have a decent coffee and something more substantial than airport noodles. Failing that, pack a granola bar or something. Seriously, airport food at that hour is usually a gamble. Good luck with your flight!
Yeah, PEK at that hour is a wasteland. I learned that lesson the hard way last year. Totally forgot about the hotel cafes though – that’s a great tip, thanks! Next time I’m definitely packing a proper breakfast. Airport noodles at 5 AM are… an experience I don’t need to repeat. Appreciate the advice!
