I wi...Haha...thanks for the long and detail reply! <br />I will definitely try to visit Made in China and also a "down to earth establishment" and send you something. I hope I can get the two different experiences!

If you are going to BJ for the first time (like I was) I think you should visit Made in China for sure. You raised a good question whether hotel is better than trying something local. Technically they are both local just more upscale I guess. :) <br /><br />In my opinion, they are different as in the experience. If I had the chance I would visit both local / down to earth establishment as well as more upscale outlets as well just for the sake of comparison. The issue in my opinion is how we are to manage the expectation of the places we go. Like my friend @Fernandogros once mentioned, he would not mind listening to MP3 / lower quality music if he is to travel on the subway, but he he wants to listen to classical music or opera, he would go to the theater for the experience. <br /><br />Please do try both sort of establishment and let me know. :) I am interested to find out and on my next visit I will surely go for some down to earth peking duck restos :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065954132923109958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903616918786253155.post-49195621713330126852010-11-18T21:44:37.403+08:002010-11-18T21:44:37.403+08:00This is perfect! I have been an avid reader of you...This is perfect! I have been an avid reader of your blog, hoping one day I'll be able to visit one of the restaurants you have visited.<br /><br />I will be going to Beijing for the first time. Would you recommend this as the Peking Duck restaurant to go to? And might I ask, is eating at a hotel better than trying something local? Is it a huge price difference?Gemini Jilginoreply@blogger.com
