B Customers have meals at the first-ever store of Quanjude on the Qianmen Street in Beijing, capital of China, March 25, 2025. Peking Duck, a representative cuisine of Beijing, has won popularity across the world for its golden, crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat. Set up by Yang Quanren in 1864 in Beijing, "Quanjude", a time-honored brand for Peking duck, has become a must-go for visitors from both home and abroad.

The cooking craft of Peking Duck, which has been passed down for seven generations in Quanjude, is mainly used in two steps, preparation and roasting. To ensure the quality of its duck, Quanjude only chooses a type of local ducks which are fed and raised in a special way so that the proportion of the fat in the duck meat is strictly under control. During the roasting procedure, Quanjude uses wood from hard fruit trees and open fire to get a better taste. Meanwhile, the chef w
