What delicious food is there in Lijiang?
Naxi flavor: blends the characteristics of Yunnan, Tibetan, and Sichuan cuisines, making good use of cured meats and wild mushrooms. Must-eat: cured pork rib hot pot (Lijiang's signature!), Naxi grilled fish, chickpea jelly, Lijiang baba, black goat hot pot, wild mushroom hot pot (mushroom season July-September), butter tea, dried yak beef. Spice level: medium spicy, can be made non-spicy. Flavor: savory-umami + sour-spicy. Vegetarian: so-so, the old town has vegetarian restaurants. Avoid pitfalls: restaurants in the old town are expensive with uneven quality; heading toward Zhongyi Market into the local residential area offers better value for money.
