Acting on a hunch we took a taxi to the Ju De Roast Duck Restaurant, the oldest and most famous in Beijing.
Our hopes were dashed when our good friend Kim informed us that all we would find at Ju De would be the most delicious crispy roast duck in the world. Our scientific hunger for the truth unsated, we consoled ourselves with a plate of roast duck, pancakes, and plum sauce, washed down (strictly for antiseptic purposes) with a tall, cold mug of Tsingtao beer.
Undaunted, we continued our search.
