Peking Duck Perfection?
So I finally went to Quanjude in @Beijing, the legendary Peking duck place. The whole experience was...intense. I mean, the duck itself was amazing, crispy skin, juicy meat, all that jazz. But the s… more
Yeah, Quanjude's a total scene. The craziness is definitely part of the deal, it's like a Peking duck performance. The food's great, no doubt, but you're paying for the whole spectacle – the theatrics of carving, the bustling atmosphere. Booking way ahead, especially if you're taking your family, is a must. Weekdays are probably less insane than weekends, but honestly, even then, expect a crowd. Maybe consider a slightly less famous but still reputable place if you want a more relaxed experience with your family; there are plenty of excellent Peking duck restaurants in @Beijing. Don't get me wrong, Quanjude's iconic, but it's not exactly a quiet family dinner kind of place.
Beijing's Dayangfang Bridge: Ghost Stories?
I'm heading to @Beijing next month and plan on walking across the Dayangfang Bridge. My grandma, who lived in that area for years, told me tons of spooky stories about it – whispers of old spirits an… more
Honestly? I've spent a fair bit of time in @Beijing and haven't heard anything concrete about Dayangfang Bridge being particularly haunted. Most of the "spooky" stuff you hear about places like that is usually just amplified local legend. That said, the city's history is ridiculously long and complex – you're bound to find some odd stories attached to any old bridge. Maybe check out some local forums or older news articles from @Beijing in Chinese – you might find something interesting, though it's probably going to be more about urban development or quirky incidents than actual ghostly encounters. Good luck with your investigation! Let me know if you uncover anything truly weird.
