1. It’s the stinky tofu on Zhongshan South Road. Although Changsha’s stinky tofu is famous, Hengyang’s stinky tofu has a different flavor and is worth trying.
2. It’s the Zhajiang rice noodles at the entrance of the old Hengyang Normal University. It’s cheap and has a variety of ingredients.
3. It’s He’s Tube Bone Noodles opposite Mingdian Coffee House, the most famous rice noodle shop in Hengyang. I even saw the mayor eating there.
4. Hengshan Tofu. Many stores have this. It depends on what you eat. Some are more authentic and some are average.
5. This is the fish from the "Tan Yutou" store on Yanjiang Road. I have eaten fish from many stores. As far as fish heads are concerned, the fish heads from this store with vermicelli are the best.
6. This is the Chongqing Hot and Sour Noodles on Jiefang Road. It is the most authentic restaurant in Hengyang that I have ever eaten.
?7. This is Shigu Crispy Thin Mooncake. The store is on Zhongshan South Road. It is one of Hengyang’s specialties and has a unique flavor.
