Note, too, that there are two grades of duck. The price difference is nominal, so go with the "high quality."
I'm surprised I haven't seen Liqun mentioned here. Lots of locals, and now tourists prefer it to the afore mentioned places. Its tougher to get to since its in a hutong, but the duck is authentic and well worth it. Plus you get to experiece a hutong, a traditional beijing neighborhood while you go to the place. Don't worry because everyone there will know that you are looking for Liqun and there are signs in English that will lead you there... Here's some info. Cheers.
