When in a hotel or "farmhouse" by the reservoir, be sure to order a dish of reservoir fish, either stewed or fried. The freshest one is delicious.

There are also fresh mushrooms, wild vegetables, and wood-fired eggs, which are enough to make your greasy belly clean and refreshing.

In addition, the Baihe Gorge Tourist Base can provide simple farm meals, including duck eggs, wild vegetables and local river fish. Their Hanamaki is particularly popular, with a rich wheat flavor and no baking powder. It is very real.
