Hunan cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines in China, with its strong oil color, especially sour, spicy, fragrant, fresh and wax. Changsha is the center of Hunan cuisine and a famous food city in China. Changsha people are famous for their love and ability to eat.

Changsha's famous Hunan cuisine mainly includes spicy chicken, three-layer chicken, Changsha Maren crispy duck, mushroom without yellow eggs, mushroom soup for soaking the belly, a hundred pages of hair, steamed bacon and so on. In the restaurants opened by some farmers along the Liuyang River, you can eat "village dishes" with simple taste, and coarse grains such as sweet potato Baba, sweet potato stalks and taro stalks that you can't eat in the city on weekdays can be tasted here.

Restaurant recommendation

Fire Palace: If you want to try Changsha's flavor snacks, you can go to the Fire Palace, where there are many kinds of snacks, such as fried stinky tofu, pickled peppers, sister dumplings, white pills and so on.

Address: Pozi Street, near Jiefang West Road; Wuyi Road, No.93, wuyi avenue, Furong District. ?

Chili Fried Meat Local Restaurant: Although the name is simple and unremarkable, the business is extremely good, and the spirit of consistently focusing on "Chili Fried Meat" is enough to make Changsha gluttons and foreign diners rush to patronize. ?

Address: Furong Middle Road, near Puyuan.

Taste cuisine restaurant: Taste cuisine is a popular cooking method in Star City in recent years, which is deeply loved by spicy Changsha people because of its "strong ingredients and heavy taste". Several time-honored restaurants are basically hidden in humble and even shabby residential buildings, especially the famous names such as "Zhao Ji", "Qian Si" and "Xiao Li Taste" under Liucheng Bridge.

In addition, there are many large-scale restaurants and dining areas with long-lasting reputation in Changsha, such as the Friendship New Village around the Second Ring Road (with large restaurants such as Yilu Jixiang and Bodhi Tree), the scenic belt on the east bank of Xiangjiang River (with Qinhuang Restaurant and Haoshishangdang Restaurant), Jinxiu Square and Xihu Building, the largest landscape restaurant in China near the Radio and Television Center.

(Zhangjiajie Cuisine) The Tujia diet in Zhangjiajie not only has strong national characteristics, but also combines the essence of Hunan cuisine. Spicy is the characteristic of Hunan cuisine, and Tujia cuisine is no exception. In addition to spicy food, Tujia people also love wax, acid and pickled vegetables with unique flavor. Special dishes include bacon pig's head, "Tuannian dish", blood tofu, dregs, sour fish, loach-drilled tofu, black-bone chicken and Tianma soup, etc. Flavor snacks include social meals, pig blood porridge and so on. In addition, don't miss the following recommended dishes. ?

Eating in scenic spots

Dining in hotels near Zhangjiajie scenic spot is very expensive, with vegetables above 15 yuan, dishes with meat above 3 yuan per serving, and game dishes above 8 yuan, such as wild boar, bamboo chicken and fir. If you live in a farmhouse hotel in a scenic spot, you can ask for meals, usually 5 yuan for breakfast and 12 yuan for lunch and dinner. The conditions are average but delicious.

However, these dishes, such as fried bacon with kudzuvine root, rock ear and scrambled eggs with sour corn, have local characteristics and are worth tasting. They can be eaten in hotels and farmhouses. In addition, it takes about 1 minutes to go to Huanglong Cave by car from Shuihuan Gate 4, and there is a "Yindu Tujia Restaurant" which tastes delicious, especially the fried wild bee pupa, stone pheasant and golden whip fish.

in a word, spending around the scenic spot requires you to be prepared mentally, and don't forget to bargain. ?

Eat in the urban area

In the urban area of Zhangjiajie, it's delicious and cheap. If your stomach is wronged in the scenic spot, you can let it go completely here!

For breakfast,

You can try the "Snowy Cloud Big Bag" which is a chain store in the urban area. Each one is very big with 5 cents, and there are many varieties. It is recommended that the mushroom, bamboo shoot and pepper bag be spicy and juicy. Another hot soya-bean milk, each cup of 1 yuan, is enough for you to climb the mountain in high spirits.

lunch/dinner

First of all, I recommend the special dish of Zhangjiajie-Sanxia Pot. The so-called "three pots" is a hot pot made of three main ingredients and stewed without soup. The most famous ones are the "Master Hu's Three Pots" near the Fengwan Bridge (which can be reached by bus No.1), and one for 15 yuan. The most economical thing for two or three people is to point the weight of 3 yuan. The specialties are dried stir-fried intestines and dried stir-fried walnut meat, which can be stewed in a pot and tastes super good. By the way, order a sour radish, crisp and sour, which makes people drool.

like fish heads? Then go to Sanjiaoping, where there is Laowu Fish Head Hotpot Restaurant (you can get there by bus No.7). The soup is stewed with small cherry tomatoes locally produced in Zhangjiajie, which is very delicious. A catty of fish head 15 yuan, a dish of vegetables and noodles. You can eat comfortably if you spend less than 3 yuan per capita.

If your purse is bulging, you can rot it and eat some game. I recommend the tasteless restaurant (on the way to the scenic spot in Dayongqiao, it's close to Dayongqiao Park, so you need to take a taxi, and it's within 15 yuan). The name is a little sensational, and the taste is still good. There are wild boar, bamao rat, muntjac meat, bacon, etc., and the local special dish Huangzi meat, also known as Miaojia sour meat, is especially recommended. In addition, Beizheng Street in the urban area passes by, and there are many delicious places, such as Li Shifu Cuidu (light in taste), Junge Changzi Restaurant, Lekoufu, Wulong Shanzhai, Music Kitchen, etc. You may wish to make a special trip to have a taste when you have time.
