So I'm heading to Quanjude in @Beijing next week, finally! Heard legendary things about their Peking duck. My question is: how much does the "experience" factor into the price? Is it worth it to spl… more
It's pricey, no doubt. Quanjude is the Peking duck place, so you're paying for the whole historical-cultural-iconic-thing. The full experience is… well, an experience. Think elaborate presentation, maybe some traditional tea ceremony elements, the works. But honestly? Unless you're a serious foodie documenting your culinary adventures for a blog or something, I'd probably skip the absolute top-tier, most expensive option.

Enjoy the atmosphere; the building itself is pretty cool. You're in @Beijing, have a beer (or two!), and savor the duck. It'll be memorable regardless.

You still experienced the amazing duck, so don't sweat it too much! Enjoy the memories.
