As a famous food street in Beijing, Gui Street is now almost occupied by spicy crayfish. Heavy flavors are not everyone's liking, and if you want to find a light restaurant worth trying on Gui Street, it must be Lanxi Restaurant.
Lanxi Restaurant's signature dish is duck soup. If it's winter in Beijing, it's the most comfortable thing to warm up from the outdoors to the store, where each person orders a can of duck soup with a super fast serving speed. The duck soup in Lanxi Restaurant is prepared by an experienced Zhejiang duck soup master, and the ingredients are selected from the old duck of Taihu Lake for more than three years, Beijing Xiangshan spring water, and Zhejiang Tianmu Mountain flat tip bamboo shoots, which are boiled for six hours, and the soup is pure and delicious. In addition, it should be noted that because the soup itself is very hot, it should be eaten with caution and do not touch the can to avoid burns.
