Peking duck is very popular. The duck to be roasted must be the white Beijing variety of high quality, which is about 3 kilo when the duck is killed. Before being roasted, compressed air will be injected into the duck between its skin and flesh so that its skin can become glossy and shiny. People use less smoky hard fuel-fruit tree branches such as pear, peach or date tree branch as firewood, as a result the duck obtains a fruity flavor and red color.
