There are many vegetarian restaurants in Dali, and the most famous one is Yirantang. 5 yuan is full of money, not only many backpackers and travelers come to eat, but also local elderly people bring their children to eat.
The vegetarian restaurant is open from 11: 3 to 13: at noon and from 5: 3 to 7: at night. Basically, as soon as you arrive, you will see people coming here to eat with rice bowls of various shapes.
people like me who don't have tableware can only buy disposable lunch boxes for one yuan (I think this is also a disguised form to encourage everyone to bring their own lunch boxes).
at noon, there are cabbage, zucchini, beans, pumpkin, fried peanuts, cauliflower, shredded potatoes, green vegetables … the staple food is rice and porridge.
because I live far away, when I arrived, there were already two rows of people eating at the entrance of Yirantang.
at the moment when the epidemic affects tourism, the only convenience is that you don't have to wait in line for too long.
when you enter the house, everyone pays in an orderly way, and you can eat and cook. If you don't have enough food once, you can come back to add food.
although there are not many dishes left, the chef in the back kitchen has been frying them. I added two more dishes later, and each time there were new dishes, which were quite good.
Outside the vegetarian restaurant, there is an inconspicuous small display column that reads "Yirantang Vegetable Garden". You are welcome to go to the vegetable garden to hoe, plant and collect vegetables, and see for yourself how the food you eat comes from.
at first glance, it seems that this meal is healthier.
At last, after the meal, everyone put the lunch boxes with all the rice grains in the recycling place, which ended the happy meal today.
