Zhangjiajie is a very mature tourist city. In addition to focusing on fun, you should also not relax about eating, because Zhangjiajie really has many delicious special snacks. After all, it is Hunan cuisine, and Zhangjiajie’s food is generally spicy.

For those who love spicy food, Zhangjiajie’s delicacies must not be missed. Below, I will recommend some very delicious special delicacies to you.

1. Sanxiaguo When traveling to Zhangjiajie, you will generally not miss this special dish.

Zhangjiajie Sanxiaguo, also known as Tujia Sanxiaguo, is Zhangjiajie’s signature dish.

Nowadays, two, three or more of them are selected from fatty intestines, pork tripe, beef tripe, sheep tripe, pig's trotters or pig head meat, and are specially processed by local chefs to cook them in one pot.

The way to eat Sanxiaguo is also divided into dry pot and soup pot. Dry pot has no soup and has a strong spicy taste. People who can't eat spicy food are best not to eat it.

Although this dish is delicious, it is generally not available in hotels in Zhangjiajie. It can only be eaten in some small restaurants visited by locals.

2. Cured game. Cured game is made by the Zhangjiajie mountain people by marinating wild boar, muntjac and other packages in a vat for half a month, then hanging them on the fire kang to smoke and roast them. It can be used as a delicacy for banquet guests.

The more famous game foods include: wild boar, hare, Tujia cured mutton, Tianmen beef, flying eagle raccoon dog, bamboo pig, etc.

3. Pueraria lobata powder Pueraria lobata powder is one of the three treasures of Zhangjiajie, and it can be divided into two types: rice kudzu powder and chai kudzu powder.

Traditionally, the most authentic Chai Gefen is found on mountains higher than 720 meters, because Zhangjiajie’s altitude is more than 1,200 meters.

Pueraria lobata powder has many effects such as beautifying the skin and delaying aging.

In addition, stir-fried pork with kudzu root powder is also a specialty of Zhangjiajie.

Stir-fry the kudzu root powder, which has the effects of cooling, removing internal heat, beautifying and nourishing the stomach, with Zhangjiajie Tujia bacon for a unique twist.

Make the kudzu powder into a paste, cool it, then cut it into slices and stir-fry it with the bacon. The kudzu slices will absorb the oil from the bacon and add the aroma of the bacon, making you want to eat it again.

You can usually taste it in Tujia restaurants and Zhangjiajie Forest Park.

4. Blood tofu Blood tofu is tofu mixed with pig blood, pork, Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers and other condiments into a puree, then rolled into an oval shape, placed on a fire pit with a bamboo sieve, smoked and roasted until it turns yellow, and tastes chewy.

It is fragrant and can be regarded as the best wine to go with. It is also a Tujia specialty.

In the urban area of ??Zhangjiajie, there are many delicious foods and the prices are very cheap.
