Director Yang Jie came to the "Born bridge opening" 6 kilometers from Kunlu Highway in Kunming, a karst geological cave scenic spot which is close to Kunming city. And this cave, the famous Ming Dynasty traveler Xu Xiake once left the reputation of "the first strange cave in the world". After being selected as the shooting location in The Journey to the West, "Born in bridge opening" was renamed as Journey to the West Cave, and now it has been built into a "Journey to the West Cultural Theme Scenic Spot" by combining the Journey to the West culture with the natural landscape karst caves.

Now, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West has achieved great success, and a delicious food left in the Xiyou Cave in Yunnan in that year has also become a major feature of the Xiyou Cave-this is crispy Bai Gujing

Speaking of this delicious food, there is still some origin. At that time, when filming Journey to the West, the crew was short of funds, with a per capita meal of only 5 cents. The hard shooting made the crew learn to discover edible ingredients together, including chicken crispy bones that were not often eaten. It is said that after the filming was finished one day, the cast and crew members were hungry, and the chef was anxious when he saw that there was no food to cook. Suddenly, he had a brainwave. Why not fry the leftover chicken crisp bones? So the oil was refined to 78% heat, and the crisp bones were fried to golden yellow. The fragrant smell made all the crew members drool, and everyone gathered around to see what was so attractive. The chef improvised and named it: Crispy Bai Gujing. What a crispy Bai Gujing, which made everyone eat, praised in succession. It turned out that Bai Gujing in Journey to the West was not so terrible, and it was crispy and delicious when fried to golden!

Now, in order to pass on this unexpected food, Xiyoudong specially consulted the chef of that year, and reappeared this food according to the instructions. It is said that a crispy Bai Gujing needs the cartilage of 2 chickens, and the ingredients are extremely precious. Because of its unique taste, tourists who come to Xiyou Cave now must order crispy Bai Gujing. Everyone says that if you don't eat crispy Bai Gujing, it's like visiting the cave in the west for nothing.

Crispy Bai Gujing tastes not only crispy, but also the feelings left by the 86th edition of The Journey to the West!
