Just contact me at andriasc@yahoo.com if you have any question. i'll be happy to help. I'll re-post my trip once i got back from there.
I tried LiQun Roast Duck based on Anthony Bourdain's and Bizzare Food guy's recommendation. As the result, i think they are extremelly over-rated!!!!! LiQun Duck is not a good as QuanJude and Dadong. I spent 400 RMB for something i regret. If you want to try Peking Duck try to go to QuanJude and Dadong, and yet i dont understand why LiQun has so many consulates and celebrities ate there, i think they were also misguided by commercial and travel guides, which is sucks!! This go as well with Noodle Loft that was previewed by Bizzare Food guys....Over Rated!!!
