What is the food in Lijiang, Yunnan? In Lijiang, there is a wide variety of food to eat, but everyone has their own opinion on whether the taste is authentic or not. If you want to eat local specialties, it is recommended to go to Xincheng to eat. For example, the ham chicken and tilapia on Qixing Street, and the cured pork ribs in Xiangshan Market are all very popular among locals. The snacks in Lijiang are concentrated in Dashi in the ancient city. Near the bridge, there is also the Zhongyi Market. The one in Xincheng is in the Huadu Trade City on Qixing Street. If you are lazy and more modern, you can have a KFC at the waterwheel at Guchengkou. As for restaurants, there are many restaurants in Lijiang Old Town. On Qiyi Street, in the Cherry Blossom Food Court area, there was a famous restaurant in the past, but it seems that the taste is not that good now. I personally do not recommend dining in the ancient city. Firstly, it is expensive, and secondly, the taste is average. In the new city, Xiangshan Market, Huama Street, and Jinkai Plaza are where restaurants are concentrated.

Sifang Snack Street is located on Sifang Street in Dashiqiao, the ancient city. It mainly sells small pot rice noodles, clay pot rice, ham fried rice and other folk snacks. It is one of the most concentrated food streets in Lijiang.

Dashiqiao Snacks is located in the ancient city of Dashiqiao. It is the earliest and most authentic traditional noodle snack shop in Lijiang and has a history of more than 80 years.
