You're a smart guy! You're right, my flight out of PEK is at 23:30. It's actually not first time in Beijing, but it's been a very long time since I was there. I guess given how little time I have, I guess Sanlitun ain't bad. IIRC, it was a trendy area of Beijing. I wouldn't mind going to Quanjude, but the last time that I was there, there was a crazy long line just to go in and eat the duck.
