As the capital of China, Beijing is a real classic scenic spot of red tourism. On top of the Tian'anmen Square and the Monument of the People's Heroes, there exists the New Culture Movement Memorial of Beijing and Museum of the War of Peoples' Resistance against Japanese Aggression(1937-1945) in memory of that unforgotten time. What about its food?
Beijing roast duck
Roast duck is a famous dish in Beijing with worldwide reputation. It first appeared in Ming Dynasty(1368-1644), which was the court food at that time. The high-quality materials used are Beijing meat duck and wood charcoal, making for its ruddy color and crispy outside, fat but not greasy.
