That or just stick to Sanlitwaaaaah where you can walk everywhere Q Bar too at the risk of it being too crowded for me to drink at is the best roof terrace - on top of the obscure Eastern Hotel at the bottom of Nan Sanlitun lu and Gongti Nan Lu cross. Best cocktails and best roof terrace = quite a combo As a Beijingren Laowai - top tip for taxis is speak like a pirate and they eventually get what you mean….

I've also been to High Wycombe which may possibly be even further north.

That new Xin Da Lu in the Hyatt does a good duck, but surely there's room for two good duck places in a city this size!

You're way ahead of me. I also know a few Beijingers who have not seen the Great Wall. One of my colleagues in Beijing is closely connected with Da Dong's owner - she calls him uncle da dong. Let's see if my guanxi can get a branch opened in Shanghai, ideally somewhere within walking distance of your apartment.
