What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
One of the best and most delicious foods in China is Peking Duck . This iconic dish from Beijing is famous for its crispy, golden-brown skin and tender, flavorful meat. The duck is roasted to perfection and traditionally served with thin pancakes, scallions, cucumber, and a sweet bean sauce. Each bite offers a perfect balance of texture and taste, making it a must-try dish for anyone visiting China!
