(Changsha Cuisine)

Hunan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China, which is distinguished by its heavy oil color, especially sour, spicy, fragrant, fresh and preserved. Changsha is the center of Hunan cuisine and a famous food city in China. Changsha people are famous for their love and ability to eat.

Changsha's famous Hunan cuisine mainly includes spicy chicken, three-layer chicken, Changsha Maren crispy duck, mushroom without yellow eggs, mushroom soup for soaking the belly, a hundred pages of hair, steamed bacon and so on. In the restaurants opened by some farmers along the Liuyang River, you can eat "village dishes" with simple taste, and coarse grains such as sweet potato Baba, sweet potato stalks and taro stalks that you can't eat in the city on weekdays can be tasted here.

Restaurant recommendation

Fire Palace: If you want to try Changsha's flavor snacks, you can go to the Fire Palace, where there are many kinds of snacks, such as fried stinky tofu, pickled peppers, sister dumplings, white pills and so on.

Address: Pozi Street, near Jiefang West Road; Wuyi Road, No.93, wuyi avenue, Furong District.

Chili Fried Meat Local Restaurant: Although the name is simple and unremarkable, the business is extremely good, and the spirit of consistently focusing on "Chili Fried Meat" is enough to make Changsha gluttons and foreign diners rush to patronize.

Address: Furong Middle Road, near Puyuan.

Taste cuisine restaurant: Taste cuisine is a popular cooking method in Star City in recent years, which is deeply loved by spicy Changsha people because of its "strong ingredients and heavy taste". Several time-honored restaurants are basically hidden in humble and even shabby residential buildings, especially the famous names such as "Zhao Ji", "Qian Si" and "Xiao Li Taste" under Liucheng Bridge.

In addition, there are many large-scale restaurants and dining areas with long-lasting reputation in Changsha, such as the Friendship New Village around the Second Ring Road (with large restaurants such as Yilu Jixiang and Bodhi Tree), the scenic belt on the east bank of Xiangjiang River (with Qinhuang Restaurant and Haoshishangdang Restaurant), Jinxiu Square and Xihu Building, the largest landscape restaurant in China near the Radio and Television Center.

(Zhangjiajie Cuisine)

The Tujia diet in Zhangjiajie not only has strong national characteristics, but also combines the essence of Hunan cuisine. Spicy is the characteristic of Hunan cuisine, and Tujia cuisine is no exception. In addition to spicy food, Tujia people also love wax, acid and pickled vegetables with unique flavor. Special dishes include bacon pig's head, "Tuannian dish", blood tofu, dregs, sour fish, loach-drilled tofu, black-bone chicken and Tianma soup, etc. Flavor snacks include social meals, pig blood porridge and so on. In addition, don't miss the following recommended dishes.

Eating in a scenic spot

Dining in a hotel near Zhangjiajie scenic spot is very expensive. Vegetables cost more than RMB 15, meat dishes cost more than 31 yuan, and game dishes cost more than 81 yuan, such as wild boar, bamboo chicken and fir. If you live in a farmhouse hotel in a scenic spot, you can ask for meals. Generally, breakfast is 5 yuan/person, lunch and dinner are 12 yuan/person, and the conditions are average but delicious.

However, these dishes, such as fried bacon with kudzuvine root, rock ear and scrambled eggs with sour corn, have local characteristics and are worth tasting. They can be eaten in hotels and farmhouses. In addition, it takes about 11 minutes to go to Huanglong Cave by car from Shuihuan Gate 4, and there is a "Yindu Tujia Restaurant" which tastes delicious, especially the fried wild bee pupa, stone pheasant and golden whip fish.

in a word, spending around the scenic spot requires you to be prepared mentally, and don't forget to bargain.

Eat in the urban area

In the urban area of Zhangjiajie, it's delicious and cheap. If your stomach is wronged in the scenic spot, you can let it go completely here!

For breakfast,

You can try the "Snowy Cloud Big Bag" which is a chain store in the urban area. Each one is very big with 51 cents, and there are many varieties. It is recommended that the mushroom, bamboo shoot and pepper bag be spicy and juicy. Another hot soya-bean milk, each cup of 1 yuan, is enough for you to climb the mountain in high spirits.

lunch/dinner

First of all, I recommend the special dish of Zhangjiajie-Sanxia Pot. The so-called "three pots" is a hot pot made of three main ingredients and stewed without soup. The most famous one is the "Master Hu's Three Pots" near the Fengwan Bridge (which can be reached by bus No.11), and it costs 15 yuan each. The most economical thing for two or three people is to point the weight of 31 yuan. The specialties are dried stir-fried intestines and dried stir-fried walnut meat, which can be stewed in a pot and tastes super good. By the way, order a sour radish, crisp and sour, which makes people drool.

like fish heads? Then go to Sanjiaoping, where there is Laowu Fish Head Hotpot Restaurant (you can get there by bus No.7). The soup is stewed with small cherry tomatoes locally produced in Zhangjiajie, which is very delicious. Fish head 15 yuan a catty, send a plate of vegetables, a plate of noodles. You can eat comfortably if you spend less than 31 yuan per capita.

If your purse is bulging, you can rot it and eat some game. I recommend the tasteless restaurant (on the way to the scenic spot in Dayongqiao, it is very close to Dayongqiao Park, and you need to take a taxi there, within 15 yuan). The name is somewhat sensational and the taste is still good. There are wild boar, bamao rat, muntjac meat, bacon, etc., and the local special dish Huangzi meat, also known as Miaojia sour meat, is especially recommended.

In addition, Beizheng Street is a road in the city, and there are many delicious places, such as Li Shifu Cuidu (with a light taste), Junge Changzi Restaurant, Lekoufu, Wulong Shanzhai, Music Kitchen, etc. You might as well make a special trip to have a taste when you have time.

supper

at night, there are food stalls all over the city. 51 yuan money can make four people eat well. The most concentrated is near the People's Cinema, and the night market is lined up and bustling. Sit down in a crowded place, that's right.

In addition, look for a pickle stall across the street from the cinema, where pickled cucumbers and radishes are crisp and tasty. Chatting, accompanied by wine, plates of side dishes soon bottomed out.

(Xiangxi cuisine)

Xiangxi cuisine is an important branch of Hunan cuisine. Xiangxi cuisine is good at making all kinds of delicacies, smoked bacon and all kinds of cured meat. Its taste focuses on salty, sweet and sour, and firewood is often used as fuel. The method of curing meat is also very special, and most of them are cured with wax. The specialties of western Hunan are Ganzhou duck, lichen, bracken, Sichuan style pork, canned mushroom, bean curd residue and sauerkraut soup, which are delicious and cheap in quantity.

Tujia hot pot has a unique flavor, including tableware, seats and dishes. If you have the opportunity, you must try it yourself. Ganzhou Duck Hot Pot and Longshan Mao Ping Spicy Chicken Hot Pot are well-known local hot pots, and there are countless stores with this name. When the time comes, ask the locals who tastes the best, and their opinions are the most authoritative.

Rice tofu, glutinous rice Baba, oil Baba and sugar sprinkled seeds are the most common street snacks of Tujia and Miao ethnic groups in western Hunan. Among them, rice tofu is the most famous snack in Xiangxi. It is said that the most authentic one is near the memorial arch in furong town, which is the rice tofu shop in the movie furong town.

Special Restaurant

Jishou: There is a street called "Delicious Street" in front of the cinema in Jishou City (local meaning greedy). All kinds of snack stalls are gathered, delicious and very cheap. In addition, there are several specialty food shops worth visiting, such as Xiongjia Duck Restaurant, Xiangli Family Restaurant, Laobotou Restaurant and Special Mutton Restaurant, etc. Just ask the local people.

Phoenix: Fast food restaurants can be found everywhere in Fenghuang County, with low prices. You can get a meal in 3-5 yuan, and there are snacks such as mala Tang and rice noodles with unique flavor, as well as Miao's sour fish and sour lobo. In the evening, there are many stalls on the street from the county post office to the east gate, mostly mala Tang, baking and other snacks, which are spicy enough, delicious and cheap in quantity. The "Ambassador Hotel" is very famous in Phoenix. The dishes such as sour cabbage, lichen, bacon, fried pine mushrooms and canned mushrooms are very local. More than 31 yuan is enough for four people. There are also folk crafts. You can also go to the "Old Street Restaurant" on a street. (Yueyang cuisine)

Yueyang is located on the bank of Dongting Lake and the shore of Hunan River. Naturally, you should have a good taste of Dongting Lake aquatic products when you come here. The fish produced in Dongting Lake are all freshwater fish, and their tastes are different from those of coastal fish. There are many varieties and tastes.

The restaurants in Yueyang are very good at cooking fish. The local "Baling Whole Fish Banquet" is quite distinctive. All the dishes on the banquet are made of fish, but they all have their own flavors, such as Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish, silver fish with silk, frozen fish glue, steamed fish in bamboo tubes, steamed whole water fish, butterflies crossing the sea (the raw material is snakehead) and pine-seeded eel. In addition, the local famous Junshan Silver Needle Chicken Slices should not be missed. See the specialties for details.

Furthermore, all kinds of snacks in Yueyang have different flavors.

(Shaoshan Cuisine)

When you go to Shaoshan, you can't miss Maojia braised pork. Maojia cuisine is famous for Chairman Mao's hometown, and even Chairman Mao praised Maojia braised pork. The authentic Maojia Hotel is located in Shaoshanchong, Xiangtan. The braised pork here is Wuhuazu. It is very exquisite and complicated to steam the belly meat with five layers and three flowers with rock sugar and octagonal cinnamon and then fry it in the pot and put lobster sauce. The cooked Maojia braised pork is golden and shiny, fat but not greasy, and very fragrant and delicious.

Shaoshan is located in the hilly area of central Hunan, bordering Xiangtan, Xiangxiang and Ningxiang. The people's tastes have obvious characteristics of the mountain people, and they take the advantages of the neighboring counties. After thousands of years of brewing, many flavor snacks have been formed. Shaoshan flavor snacks can be divided into small dish series, wild fruits and wild mushrooms and wild aquatic products. Shaoshan side dishes are a daily necessity for farmers, and they are seasonal. Their characteristics are to explain the natural color, fragrance and taste. For example, dried vegetable shoots in spring, fresh cabbage shoots are collected to soak in water, dried and stored in the altar, or chopped and salted, steamed and dried with beans, which has a faint fragrance and a natural flavor. The prolific season of side dishes is summer and autumn.

(Huaihua Cuisine)

Huaihua's diet is very local, especially the Dong nationality's diet, which is famous for its spicy, sour, pickled, smoked and preserved food, and its eating rituals and rules are also very formal.

The famous dragon-eating ceremony in the corridor is very grand, and it is usually arranged on major festivals or various happy events. Dining tables, chairs, chopsticks and dishes are collected from every household in the village, then the dining tables are closed and placed in a long strip, then the collected dishes are placed on the long table, the chopsticks are arranged, and the chairs are placed on both sides of the long table. The dishes of Helong Rice are mainly sour fish, sour meat and pickled cabbage, and glutinous rice is served for each guest, and placed on both sides of a long table with leaves as the bottom. Each glutinous rice is served with a string of fresh meat and tofu. After the guests are seated, there will be a group drinking ceremony and a ceremony before the meal.

Of course, when you come to Huaihua, Zhijiang duck, which is popular in western Hunan, must be tasted, as well as Dong family cured meat with unique flavor. You will regret it if you don't eat it!
