Beijing Cuisine
Peking Duck
Beijing is renowned for its Peking duck, a dish famous for its crispy skin and tender meat. The traditional method of roasting the duck gives it a unique flavor that is best enjoyed with thin pancakes, hoisin sauce, and fresh vegetables. Head to iconic restaurants like Quanjude or Da Dong for an unforgettable dining experience.
Jiaozi (Dumplings)
A beloved comfort food in Beijing, jiaozi are Chinese dumplings stuffed with various fillings, such as pork, beef, vegetables, and even shrimp. They’re usually boiled, steamed, or pan-fried and served with soy sauce or vinegar. Make sure to try these at a local dumpling restaurant or street food stall for an authentic taste.
Shuan Yangrou (Hot Pot with Lamb)
Shuan Yangrou, or hot pot with lamb, is a beloved Beijing specialty. Unlike the general hot pot, this dish features thinly sliced lamb that’s quickly cooked in a flavorful broth. The broth can range from mild to spicy, allowing you to enjoy the tender lamb alongside a variety of vegetables, tofu, and dipping sauces. It's a fun and communal dining experience, making it a great choice for groups who want to enjoy a hearty and interactive meal together.
Zha Jiang Mian
Zha Jiang Mian, or “fried sauce noodles,” is a classic Beijing dish. It consists of wheat noodles topped with a savory sauce made from fermented soybean paste, minced pork, and various vegetables. The dish is hearty, flavorful, and simple, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
Tanghulu (Candied Haw)
Tanghulu is a popular Beijing street snack that consists of hawthorn berries coated in a crisp, sweet sugar syrup. The berries are skewered on a stick, creating a shiny, hard candy shell that contrasts beautifully with the tartness of the fruit inside. Often found at food stalls or markets, Tanghulu is a fun and refreshing treat, especially during colder months, and it’s a must-try for anyone wanting to experience authentic Beijing street food.

Stayed at the Legendale Hotel at the end of 2025. The lobby had a strong Christmas atmosphere, and many people came to take photos, making it a bit crowded. There were also many hotel guests. The rooms felt a bit dated but were fully equipped, and the service was warm and attentive. Every time I stay, I enjoy walking in the corridor outside my room; I really like this atrium-style design. Another reason I choose to stay at the Legendale Hotel is its close proximity to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, which is within walking distance, making it very convenient for medical check-ups.FromSAR 462

From 2014 to 2019, I spent six-weeks each summer teaching in Beijing, and over that time, the Boyue Beijing Hotel has served as nothing less than a home away from home for me. It is exactly its friendly embrace and easy elegance that distinguishes the Boyue from Beijing’s larger, higher-profile hotels. Still, after a six-year absence caused by the pandemic, I was concerned that I might find a far less welcoming version of the place I had truly come to love. It was a relief to see that Liu Baojun was still out front and that Lisa was still at the head of the dining room, but so many others who had made my stays at the Boyue so unforgettable had moved on. However, no sooner than I checked in, my worries began to vanish completely. That’s when I first met three extraordinary new staff members—Jiaqi, Yonah , and their supervisor Anais—who demonstrated again and again that hospitality was still the heart and soul of coming to stay at this Chaoyang institution. Through the hard work of such talented and committed professionals as these three, the Boyue not only continues to check all the boxes that one expects to find at the highest levels of the hospitality industry—comfort, attentiveness, fine dining, and first-rate facilities—but I am also convinced that in the years since the pandemic, it has actually surpassed its own considerable track record of excellence. Thank you, one and all, for making my latest visit such an absolute pleasure!FromSAR 238

The room attendant cleaned promptly, and there was a dedicated person in the lobby to operate the elevators. The gym and pool staff were friendly and welcoming. The deluxe view room, facing due east and located on floors 25 and above, is part of the executive level, offering panoramic views of the East Third Ring Road. In the mornings, you can gaze at the 'fog city' (referring to Beijing's occasional haze), and at night, admire the iconic illuminated landmarks. The nearby multi-story PwC building, lit 24/7, evoked many similar memories for me. The pool facilities were also excellent – a truly worthwhile experience!FromSAR 377

The hotel is located in the heart of Beijing, near the embassy district, making it convenient for getting around yet surprisingly quiet. Compared to other five-star hotels, Chang Fu Gong offers exceptional value for money. When I booked, I just thought the price was very reasonable for a holiday period, and I was a bit hesitant about the facilities and service. However, my experience after checking in was absolutely amazing.
From the doorman to the front desk staff and the lobby manager, every employee consistently maintained a natural and polite smile. It felt genuine and very comfortable. They even offered complimentary snacks during my stay.
Despite being in the city center, the hotel has a spacious parking lot, which is very convenient for those driving. The hotel lobby isn't opulent, but it feels incredibly welcoming, perfect for small families. The four elevators operate very efficiently. From the elevators to the guest rooms, the hallway carpets were spotless, which deserves special praise 👍 – it's rare to see an older hotel maintain such cleanliness. Our room wasn't huge, but beyond the standard amenities, several key aspects stood out: the bathroom was very spacious with a comfortable shower, and the toilet was electronically controlled, which is lovely in winter. The room's cabinets had many compartments, perfect for families like ours with lots of small items to organize. In short, the hotel pays great attention to detail.
Unfortunately, due to limited time, we couldn't stay longer to experience other hotel services and facilities, including dining. We will definitely choose Chang Fu Gong again when we visit Beijing.FromSAR 356

As a mother traveling to Beijing with my child, I chose the Park Plaza, which had great reviews. And it definitely didn't disappoint.
1) The location is excellent. It's very close to Subway Line 8 (900 meters) and Line 5 (250 meters). Yet, it's not directly on a main road, so it's very quiet.
2) The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable.
3) Most importantly, the service was fantastic; everyone was very welcoming and enthusiastic, especially Feya and Wendy! My child and I were both very happy.
We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a suite. This meant I could work peacefully in the living room while my child slept in the bedroom at night.
4) The hotel also offers a buffet lunch and dinner for 68.8 RMB per person, and 48.8 RMB for children. This is incredibly good value for money. They have main courses, drinks, fruits, and more… Highly recommended!
5) The only minor drawback was… the hairdryer was an old model, which can take a while if you have thick hair. Other than that, everything was superb, and I would definitely stay here again!FromSAR 347

I brought my kids to let off some steam over the weekend and stayed in a Deluxe King Room. It seems I ran into the Beijing Orthopedic Surgery Medical Conference, so rooms were quite scarce.
Service: Check-in procedures seemed a bit complicated, and I waited for about 15-25 minutes on Saturday afternoon at 2 PM. However, guests who booked through Ctrip seemed to check in faster, didn't need to pay a deposit, and got their rooms immediately. With the hotel almost fully booked on a weekend, it seems some high-tier Marriott members tried to battle for an upgrade but weren't successful, which further confirmed the room shortage. I had requested a bed rail in advance, and it was provided right away.
Environment: Standard five-star hotel.
Hygiene: The room hygiene was good, and swim caps are required for the pool. The only drawback was that the children's club restroom had an odor that spread to the activity area because the door was left open, which is not up to five-star standards.
Facilities: Overall good, nothing was broken. However, the TV is an older model and doesn't support screen mirroring.FromSAR 375

Overall, I'm quite satisfied. Although there was a notice in the room about hotel maintenance, it didn't actually cause any inconvenience.
There were two things I wasn't too happy about. First, the soundproofing in the room wasn't great. Either that, or the kid next door was just incredibly loud. They were shouting in the afternoon, still shouting when I got back to the hotel after 11 PM, and then started again around 8 AM on Sunday – better than an alarm clock!
The other thing was that after finishing my meal in the room in the afternoon, I wanted to call for someone to pick up the trays. The call went to an automated customer service. I explained my request, and the AI said it understood. However, no one came to collect them until I was about to leave around 6 PM. Luckily, a staff member came to do the turndown service and took them away for me.FromSAR 583

Enjoyed a wonderful stay, hotel breakfast is truly outstanding for not just its vast selection but the quality is a cut above all the other five-star hotels (have stayed at the more expensive Rosewood, Aman, and others) in the city, great way to start each day. Hotel staff and concierge very warm and accommodating, always eager to assist and many instances of going above and beyond to please which creates a lot of positive and good vibes and makes the entire stay feel elevated. Room was spotlessly clean and very elegantly appointed, they also have an assortment of different types of sleep pillows, just need to ask for the type you prefer. Room service food was gourmet quality. Bank of China ATM (which in my experience allows higher cash withdrawal amounts than any other bank ATM in China from foreign banking accounts) is conveniently located on the second floor and available 24 hours. One experience that stood out was upon leaving the hotel one day (for a private tour that was purchased off the hotel website), Rebecca, the Guest Experience Manager, kindly showed concern when she noticed I wasn't wearing any jacket or coat and mentioned it was going to be quite cold outside that day. When I laughed and mentioned I'd be okay since I'm usually not that sensitive to cold and it became apparent I wouldn't be returning to my room to grab a jacket or coat, she immediately informed one of her colleagues to run to the back and grab the coat of one of their colleagues from the back as she insisted I bring it with me. As it turns out, it turned out to be VERY cold that entire day and if I didn't have the warm coat they so generously lent to me from one of their colleagues, I definitely would have been freezing! While I have heard hotel staff from other hotels in China mention to me that I might want to consider dressing warmer (before heading out), this was the first time where a hotel went out of their way and took direct action to actually ensure I would not feel cold by using quick and creative thinking to grab any available coat/jacket available that moment to give to me, basically treating me like a family member, following their instincts, and saving me from catching a cold that day. These sorts of random acts of kindness from their hotel staff was something that happened frequently over the course of the stay and definitely left a lasting impression!FromSAR 767
