Han Fu Yuan Salted Duck

Nanjing's signature dish is salted duck, and Han Fu Yuan has been making it since 1866: brine-cured, slow-cooked, and sliced to order from counters that have not changed in a century and a half. The queue out the door is your quality control.

Order the classic salted duck, a portion of duck blood soup, and the sesame-scented flatbread. It is the taste locals have been eating for generations, unchanged.
