I checked online and found out that Lijiang has the top ten delicacies.
1. Chickpea jelly: Chickpea flour is sold in almost every store, and there are many ways to eat chickpea flour, such as chickpea jelly, fried chickpea cake, etc.
2. Lijiang Baba: The main raw material is local fine wheat noodles, plus ham, oil, sugar and other seasonings, mix them thoroughly and knead them into layers.
Take a bite of it, golden and crispy, sweet and delicious, oily but not greasy.
Lijiang Baba is divided into two categories: salty and sweet, which can be chosen according to your own taste.
It is golden in color, fragrant and crispy in taste. Some people drink it with butter tea, which makes it even more delicious.
3. Rice enema: Rice enema is a unique flavor food in Lijiang.
It is a rice sausage made by mixing pig blood, rice and various spices together according to a certain ratio, and then filling it with processed pig intestines.
You can try it at Dashiqiao Snacks.
Located in Dashiqiao, the ancient city, it is the earliest and most authentic traditional pasta snack bar in Lijiang, with a history of more than 80 years.
4. Lijiang Cured Pork Ribs Hot Pot: From Lijiang Old Town, go to Xiangshan Market. There are many large and small stalls there. The whole street is filled with cured pork ribs hot pot shops. The whole wall is hung with pork ribs, which is very spectacular.
5. Soybean noodles: Ordinary soybean noodles cost 3-5 yuan. The sour and spicy soup is similar to whistle noodles, but the taste is different.
The fried soybeans inside are crunchy and delicious.

8. Tofu wrapped in milk: Tofu wrapped in milk is a Yunnan specialty.
The appearance of the tofu is no different from ordinary tofu, but when it is cooked, white liquid will flow out from the tofu when you bite it open, hence the name "tofu with milk".

9. Tai'an Potato Chicken: Locals also have many irresistible delicacies.
The most famous one is located 300 meters east of Xiangshan Market. The ingredients are Lijiang's local Tai'an potatoes, which are potatoes. This kind of potato has a soft texture, and the hot pot made with Lijiang's local tender chicken is really delicious.
The taste is spicy and salty.
