Nankinish Delights - the Heart & Soul of Eating in Nanjing

Eat Duck Like a Nanjinger: Where, What and How

“No duck leaves Nanjing alive.”  Statistics show that the city consumes over 100 million ducks each year. Everyone has heard of Nanjing ducks, but they are too often misunderstood. Visitors and tourists to Confucius Temple feel obliged to order salted duck from the restaurants nearby.
