The duck soup has a slightly sweet taste, and the combination of shredded bamboo shoots and duck meat is rich. Five-spice vinegar and chili powder are excellent seasoning complements, making the broth more sweet and sour. The chili powder is not very spicy, but it adds flavor.
The shop requires customers to queue for both dine-in and takeout. After ordering, you can either take a seat or wait for takeout. There are many staff members, and the food is served quickly.

The duck soup you must try when visiting Xinguang
It's located on the main street of Fengtiangong where you can find the store with the longest line.
Here, they only sell duck soup with added shredded bamboo shoots and boneless duck meat,
without extras like coriander, noodles, rice noodles, or dongfen.
If you feel it's not enough, there's a meat dumpling stall and a fried oyster cake stall nearby (unfortunately, they weren’t open today).
The restaurant requires everyone to queue up for both dine-in and takeout.
After ordering together, you can either take a seat or wait for your takeout food to the side.
There are a lot of staff on-site, so the food arrives at your table quite quickly.
As soon as the meal arrives, the aroma hits you.
Then you see the bowl filled with shredded bamboo shoots and duck meat.
The first sip of the plain soup has a slightly sweet flavor with a hint of roasted duck.
You can then add the soul ingredient, Five Seal vinegar, and chili powder to taste.
The Five Seal vinegar makes the broth sweet and tangy.
The chili powder doesn’t really add much heat but enhances the flavor.
In no time, I had finished a whole bowl of soup.
If it weren't for the other plans after this, I would have loved to order two bowls to enjoy along with the brother at the same table; that would have been satisfying!
