Have you ever heard the saying: Sichuanese are not afraid of spicy food, Guizhou people are not afraid of spicy food, and Hunan people are not afraid of spicy food.

Hunan is the best place to eat spicy food. Its characteristics are salty, spicy and sour.

One of the eight major cuisines of Hunan cuisine, which is characterized by spicy Hunan, has a saying that "spicy is indispensable". The people who eat Chili peppers are probably Shaoyang and Loudi, Changsha and Xiangxi in central Hunan.
