Peking duck is a roasted duck with crispy skin (The skin is the best part!). It is part of the emperial tastes of China. When cuting the duck, it is cut into over 100 thin pecies, which are wrapped into a Mandarin pankake with Haixian sauce and either cucumber or green onion. After cutting, the rest of the duck is served in a soup to be served after the duck is eaten.
Very tasty and is a must to try while in Beijing!

It is a special recipe of roasting duck that originates from Beijing (Peking before 1949) that dates back to the Qing Dynasty. The essence is to roast it so that the skin becomes very crispy but moist and then you slice it and wrap with thin bite size crepes. You can add plum sauce, garlic, or other condiments.
There are 2 restaurants that dated back again to QIng Dynasty were the most famous but they use different approach one is open fire oven and one is closed oven. They are respectively called "Quan Ju De" and " Bian Yi Fang". They still exist and have many outlets in Beijing.
But the current favorite amongst Beijingers is called " Da Dong"

It's basically the crispy skin of the duck (sliced into thin pieces) and you eat them in a wrap, along with sweet sauce and green onions. It's called "Peking" because it originated in Beijing, which is also known as Peking.
