1. It is said that the fish in Yueyang is very good ~ I ate the old fisherman as soon as I got off the train! My friend said that their signature fish hotpot is very good! I tried it and it was really delicious
2. Duck hot pot seems to be quite famous in Yueyang. Go to Tang Xiaoya in Baling Square! The taste is quite distinctive! I like their garlic and pepper fried beef very much. The kind that can dry 3-4 bowls in a row
3. I heard that Yueyang barbecue is very good. You can try it when you have time. 4. I recommend a map of Yueyang bean skin for breakfast. Search for the price of bean skin king. 5-1 yuan is very affordable. I think it's delicious. 5. Dried bean curd in Pingjiang (flavor snack) Many stores in Bianhe Street, Yueyang Building sell it at a price around 1 yuan.
6. Bubugao Xintiandi is a comprehensive shopping mall. There are many snacks on the first floor
These foods are recommended by the youth travel boss. I went to eat bean skin, which is very good. Others can try it.
Personal experience: Yueyang's main expense is the ticket, and it doesn't cost much to eat, drink and take the bus for one day. If you go to Changsha, Wuhan, you can go to Yueyang again, which is very close and can be finished in one day. Recommended!
