鲁朗石锅城·松茸天麻石锅鸡

Located on the roadside of Lulang Town, it is a must-go place when going from Nyingchi to Bomi. Due to snow at Sejila Pass and icy roads, there was a long traffic jam the day before. I set off early in the morning, but it still took 4 hours to arrive. At noon, I found a special stone pot chicken restaurant in Lulang for lunch. When ordering, I was told that the chef was stuck in traffic at the top of the mountain, so I could only order hot pot.

Although I haven't been to Lulang Town, it's very close. I've always heard of the fame of Lulang Stone Pot Chicken, so I must come here to try it! The waiter said that the chickens used in the store can be chickens from trees, absolutely free-range, supplemented with four or five kinds of medicinal herbs such as palm ginseng and gastrodia elata. There is a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs in the soup. There are quite a lot of things in it. With a little side dish, this pot is enough for 7 people! The chicken doesn't feel very tender! But I still like it! I've seen a documentary about this stone pot. The stone pot in Medog is very expensive, usually 2,300 yuan each!

I came here to eat during my trip to Linzhi, Tibet. The transportation here is convenient and not too far from where we stayed. The environment here is good and the service is also good. The stone pot chicken here is well made, but the price is a bit expensive.
