Guilin's food is famous all over the country and its local flavor is unique. It combines hot and sour Hunan cuisine with light Cantonese cuisine. Guilin people's home cooking is greatly influenced by Hunan cuisine, and almost every meal is inseparable from sour and spicy, so restaurants naturally choose to adapt to Guilin people's tastes. Of course, with the continuous development of tourism, there are more and more types of catering. Huaiyang Cuisine, Minnan Cuisine, Chaozhou Cuisine, Northwest Local Cuisine and Guangxi Minority Cuisine have also formed a climate in Guilin. Fashion catering is also quietly emerging in Guilin. Authentic western food and Chinese simple meals are deeply loved by young people. The street snacks in Guilin are a must, and the lotus leaf fragrance emitted by glutinous rice chicken floats all over the street. Guilin rice noodles must be tasted, including lettuce powder, beef brisket powder, three fresh powders, original soup powder, marinated vegetable powder, hot and sour powder, horse meat rice noodles and so on. There are hundreds of rice noodle shops in the city with different tastes, and some even open all night. Its bone soup began to boil before dawn, and it tasted mellow. The master will cut the braised pork for you, add delicious peanuts and chopped green onion, and then pour the soup. It tastes really good.
