PTravel, perhaps I should have given it a second try. I agree with you about "to each his own" and I hope the original poster takes my comments with a grain of salt. That said, the cost is expensive for Beijing, China in my perspective. I don't know what others paid but what I paid is above average for food in Beijing. I agree with the Shanghainese cuisine, what I meant by great food in Shanghai wasn't particularly geared toward just Chinese. You'll have to recommend me some of your excellent restaurants in Shanghai (perhaps some in Beijing as well), I'd love to go back!

bumpme, it's not just duck the name itself is "Peking Duck," like for example General Tso's Chicken. LOL, bad example since Tso's Chicken is so American. Anyway, the original poster specifically asked about having Pekinig Duck in Beijing so saying Peking Duck in Beijing is correct. You might be trying to comment on the fact that Peking = Beijing. Peking of course stems from Japanese imperialism era.
