ZHAO YA ZI

The store looks clean and hygienic, the sweet-skin duck tastes very good, the braised duck meat has a strong aroma, the duck skin is sweet but not greasy, it is worthy of being an old brand in Leshan. The clerks are very enthusiastic, and you can feel the upright character of the people of Leshan!

The taste is very good, the service is very enthusiastic, it is worth a try.

The duck is made with a secret recipe and tastes delicious. The store is small, but the business is very good.

I tried everything from cross-legged beef to sweet-skin duck and Bobo chicken in Leshan alone. I even stayed in a fantastic hotel where I could lie down and watch the Minjiang River at night. I spent the day exploring the old streets and reminiscing about the food in the hotel bathtub at night. This joy is simply irresistible! 😋 🏨First, lock in this hotel with a fantastic river view! (Key point: The riverfront location, the high-end features are simply amazing!) Le Méridien Leshan Hengbang Hotel – A delight for those who want to lie flat • Amazing location: Downstairs is Binjiang Road, a 10-minute walk to Zhanggong Bridge, and a 20-minute taxi ride to Suji Ancient Town! After a tiring day of shopping and eating, I immediately lay down at the hotel, and the river breeze blew directly into my room. 🌊 • Heartwarming service: When I checked in alone, the front desk offered warm ginger tea (in case spicy food upsets my stomach) and a handwritten "local snack list"—10 times more reliable than a guidebook. 📝 • Amazing room: The executive river view room has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Minjiang River! At night, lying on the sofa and watching the cruise ships go by, their lights shattering like stars on the river surface, is perfect with an ice-cold beer. ✨ The bedding is goose down, so after a day of running around, you can just touch the pillow and fall asleep~😴 • Breakfast is a blast: A local Leshan chef is on hand! Freshly made egg cakes with shredded radish, and the cross-legged beef soup is as delicious as cilantro. The aunt saw me scooping three spoonfuls of chili noodles and smiled, "Don't be too slow, handsome guy! This is Hu La Ke!"🌶️ • Hidden bonus: Stay here and get a free Zhanggong Bridge VIP parking ticket! I won't be able to use it alone, but it feels like a steal, hahh🅿️ 🌃Leshan's nightlife is so addictive! (Daytime is all about eating delicious food, but night is the soul. Don't miss these places!) • Eat until you're leaning against the wall at Zhanggongqiao Night Market: Get 20 sticks for Ye Po Po's Bobo Chicken, and half a sweet-skin duck at Ji Liu Niang, and eat it while you walk. If you pass by Xu Liang's Roasted Pork Hoof, you must order the brain. It's so spicy it's almost sizzling! 🌶️ • Stroll along Riverside Road and enjoy the evening breeze: After 9 PM, walk along the river, watch the lights reflected on the surface, and listen to street performers sing "Leshan, Le Shui." It's much more relaxing than the crowded night market! 🌉 • Stop by Jiaxing Road: Find a teahouse by the river, order a glass of Emei Snow with Bobo Chicken, and watch the locals chat. It's not awkward to be alone! 🍵 • Finish off at Wang Haoer Fishing Port: Try the eel noodles, still open until 1 AM, with a side of fried crispy sausage. It's so spicy you'll drink three bottles of iced soy milk. This is the true way to experience Leshan! 🥢 🎫 Must-do List: • Leshan Giant Buddha: 80r (I recommend a 60r boat tour to see the Buddha, which allows you to take panoramic photos without having to climb the mountain). The boat ride at 3pm is the best for the best lighting 🌞 • Mount Emei: 160r (15 minutes by high-speed rail. Get there early to see the sea of clouds at the Golden Summit. Don't feed the monkeys; they'll snatch your bag 🐒) • Qiaojiao Beef Museum: Free! Watch the entire beef broth being made, then head to Feng Si Niang's next door to show off your broth 🥘 • Suji Ancient Town: Free! The old stone bridge is a great place to take photos of the ancient charm. Locals line up for Zhouji Qiaojiao Beef next to the bridge 💺 🚗 Travel Guide for One Person: • High-speed rail to Leshan Station! A 15-minute taxi ride to the city center is faster than the bus (the bus takes a detour). 🚕 • Choose a shared bike and a taxi within the city: A 5-minute bike ride from Zhanggong Bridge to Shangzhongshun Pedestrian Street, and a 30-minute taxi ride to Leshan Giant Buddha are the most convenient options. 🛵 • Don't drive to the old city! The alleys around Zhanggong Bridge and East Street are narrow, and parking is even more expensive than a taxi. 😂 ⏰A perfect three-day, two-night itinerary: D1: Drop off your luggage at Le Méridien → Snack at Zhanggong Bridge → Cruise the Leshan Giant Buddha → Stroll along Riverside Road → Soak in the hotel bathtub D2: Suji Ancient Town → Qiaojiao Beef Museum → Feng Si Niang's Qiaojiao Beef → Mount Emei's Golden Summit → Return to the city for Xu Liang's Roasted Pork Hoof D3: Breakfast at the hotel → Buy souvenirs at Shangzhongshun (Zhao Yazi vacuum-packed) → Check out and return 🌟A personal treasure corner: • The second floor of the Leshan Giant Buddha cruise! Grab a window seat and snap the moment the Buddha's face appears, no one's trying to steal the spotlight! 📸 • Qingyin Pavilion, Mount Emei: Sit by the pond, watch the water flow, listen to the cicadas, and just be in a trance. Even quieter than Golden Summit! 🌿 • Le Méridien Terrace! Order a cocktail in the evening and watch the sunset over the Minjiang River. Ask your friends on social media if anyone's coming with me! 🌇 • Shangzhongshun Lantern Street: Lights up at 7pm, and take photos holding up sweet-skinned duck—the ancient atmosphere is fabulous! 🏮 ⚠️ Things to note when traveling alone: • Leshan chili is "fresh and spicy"! If you can't handle spicy food, ask for "no chili peppers" in advance. Bing jelly is a must-try to alleviate the spiciness! 🍧 • Don't order the "whole beef" when eating "qiaojiao beef"! A small portion plus a portion of stir-fried crispy sausage is enough for one person, otherwise you'll end up wasting it! 🥘 • Don't wear white shoes in Mount Emei! Monkeys can pick shoes, so wear old ones and don't feel bad if you lose them! 👟 • Avoid the dark alleys of Binjiang Road at night! Stay on the main street, which has streetlights and is popular with locals. It's safe, but be cautious! 🌙 The joys of Leshan are simple: a mouthful of cross-legged beef soup, half a sweet-skin duck, and a hotel with a river view. Even a single person can indulge in the spicy food, and you'll want to come back for more! 🌶️ #TheseHotelsAmazingViews #HotelAddict #High-EndHotelsYou'llUnderstand #One-StopResortHotel #ThePlacesYou'reMost Asked About on WeChat Moments
