Go to the famous one where Chairman Mao used to eat - on the 3rd floor of a building on the main shopping street (street called wangfujiang or something like that). All the hotels will tell you. It is great and I think I paid about $20 for 2 people

Lucky I had photos from my Beijing Trip of the yellow duck figure back in December 2004 -- turns out we went to "Quan Ju De," although the Peiking Duck was not really that good (I've frequently had better outside of Mainland China).
Maybe it was just us at that time. I think it's supposed to be good but we were disappointed.

I went to Da Dong, thanks to a recommendation on FT - and really enjoyed it. I thought the duck was absolutely excellent. But prepared to wait: up to an hour (it helps to make a reservation but not much).

I don't think it was near Tianamen.

You can have Original Peking Duck in Hamburg, it's run by the 'Country of China':
I found this with Google:
Peking-Enten-Haus
Rentzelstrae 48
Univiertel
Hamburg, Germany 20146
Category: Chinese
At the original Peking-Duck-House at Rentzelstrae the Chinese duck master prepares this exquisite several course meal in the traditional fashion. The stylish interior is decorated with Chinese

Beijing and Peking Duck
One should not leave Beijing without sampling Beijing Duck (also known as Peking Duck). A recommended place is the original Peking Duck house --QUANJUDE KAOYADIAN at 32 Qianmen Xi Dajie, Chongwen District, Beijing, China Phone: 010/6511-2418. AE, MC, DC Meals per person without drinks range from $7 to $15.
This restaurant has served Beijing Duck since 1852 and was founded by the creator of the recipe. Nationalized after the 1949 Communist Revolution, it has opened several branches across Beijing, but the one called Lao Ya or Old Duck, South of Tiananmen Square is the most elaborate.
The feast generally consists of: cold duck tongue, sauted webs, sliced livers, and gizzards to start; a main course of roast duck, to be dipped in plum sauce and wrapped with spring onion in a thin pancake; and duck soup to finish. However, one can order just the roast duck with pancakes which is a complete meal by itself.

I'd recommend passing on the cold duck tongue -- the texture is rather strange to a western pallet. Instead, you might substitute stir-fried duck liver. Hmmmm -- delicious!
Note, too, that there are two grades of duck. The price difference is nominal, so go with the "high quality."

Just returned last week from Beijing. Had Quan Jude original location's Peking Duck. Was not impressed. Came out to $14USD for a half-duck, carved right at your table. Other guests at my hotel said they also had better Peking Duck outside of China. Expect lots of tourists at QuanJude.

Best peking duck is outside of China, IMO - Hong Kong style where they serve it with crepes - actually my favorite places for it is probably here in Western Canada where there's a large contingent of Hong Kong restaurants - Vancouver BC primarily - with a few in Calgary AB and Toronto ON that make the dish pretty tasty and best VFM.
