The Miao people in the mountainous areas of western Hunan especially like to eat sour and spicy food. They often ridicule the Miao people for eating sour: "If you don't eat sour for three days, walk around!" Xiangxi people don't need vinegar to extract acid, but use food to brew pure sour soup, sauerkraut, sour and hot seeds, sour meat and sour fish to cater to their sour taste, which is authentic and pure.

Besides, you can't come to Phoenix without going to the night market. At night, the phoenix "eats fireworks". At this time, Phoenix looks closer to the world. Lanterns hung high, delicious kebabs and various foods put out by merchants attract tourists' attention. There are two night markets in Phoenix. One is Hongqiao barbecue street, which is full of people as long as it is in the peak season. Every booth is full of people, so there is no need to have a seat if you come late. On the new road, there are barbecue stalls hundreds of meters away at night, which are also very popular. Many locals in Phoenix used to eat supper. Many years ago, the online raiders said that Xinma Road was much cheaper than the barbecue on Hongqiao. In fact, the prices and tastes of the two places are similar now. It is true that local people go to Xinmalu Night Market on the Internet, but that's because the traffic is convenient. It is not convenient for tourists to eat barbecue on Xinma Road, and it is easy to get lost if they are not familiar with the road.
