Best Donkey Burger
in Beijing
The donkey burger is the ultimate "fast food" of Northern China, originally hailing from the neighboring Hebei province. It features savory shredded donkey meat stuffed into a warm, crispy, and multi-layered flatbread. In Beijing, diners can choose between the round Baoding style or the rectangular, pan-seared Hejian style. The meat is remarkably lean and tender, often cooked in a savory spiced broth before being shredded. It provides a satisfying contrast of flaky crunch and juicy, aromatic protein for city commuters.
