Lijiang Dining Guide – Snacks in Lijiang Ancient Town

In most travellers Yunnan trips, Lijiang is a city to relax and get rid of the busy life. While in my trip to Lijiang, this city can also be a food paradise with various street snacks. Here let me introduce some Lijiang snacks for your reference.

 

The most famous snack on this street – Black-bone chicken rice noodle (乌鸡米线), CNY 20

Might because I was too hungry at that night, I did think it was an extremely delicious food in my life. Enough materials in the soup caused me to finish it fast..

 

The morning time in Lijiang was special charming. Less people in the ancient city, most tourists shad already started their day tour, while other people were still in their dreams. In this time, I would like to stroll here slowly to seek more snacks.

 

Near my hotel, there was a yogurt shop called “Ding Ding”. I had not preference of yogurt, but I liked the roasted bread here, especially the coffee taste. So during this trip, nearly all my breakfasts were finished in this shop. “Ding Ding Yogurt Shop” could also be found in Shuhe Ancient Town.

After breakfast, I went back to my hotel and just had a cup of tea, sometimes dogs and cats would come to play with me. When all the Lijiang Ancient Town could be immersed in the sunshine, I began to stroll here. Without any purpose, I just walked here and there, not for shopping, not for taking photos, not for any attractions, but for alluring food! Not too much hungry, so I was attracted by snacks easily, my purpose was “could not let my teeth to stop crunching ”.

Moved to Shuhe Ancient Town for another food searching trip. Although Shuhe was about 10km away from Dayan, I still loved Shuhe better.

 

Compared with Dayan, Shuhe was quieter and was still kept her own pace. Spent a leisure afternoon in Shuhe was a good choice. Flowers could be saw here and there, very comfortable here For me, could not miss food in this afternoon. Had a seat in a Hong Kong style restaurant and order some typical food/

Baked to Dayan, walked to Lion hill to have a dinner there. The restaurant was located on the hill so that we could appreciate the whole ancient city in a overlooking view. And also because of its location, this dinner was the most expensive one in my trip.
