When you come to Shangri-La, the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the Moonlight City, you must try the authentic Tibetan delicacies. Minzhu Ramu Shangri-La Restaurant is a relatively fashionable Tibetan restaurant in the local area. The cuisine style that combines new and traditional styles is loved by locals and tourists. My friends and I have been there twice. [Restaurant Environment] The decoration style is traditional Tibetan characteristics. The environment is magnificent and textured. The stage background on the first floor and the stairs behind are decorated with bright and colorful paintings. The themes of the paintings are very Tibetan cultural elements, traditional and beautiful. The public area also displays various Tibetan characteristics, such as Nisi black pottery, murals, Tibetan stoves, etc., showing the rich charm of Tibetan intangible cultural heritage. There will be performances on the stage at around 7 o'clock in the evening. Boys play the traditional Tibetan instrument string, and girls sing Tibetan songs. The atmosphere is very good. I can't help humming along with the sound, and even have the urge to go on stage and dance together. 【Recommended dishes】 Yak beef in a toast feast: Yak beef is very firm, cut into small pieces, paired with purple onions, cucumbers, and dipping sauce, can be rolled in lettuce and eaten together, the meat is full of fragrance, the moisture and crisp taste can be retained, but not greasy. Ciba Wowotou: With yak beef sauce, it tastes like coarse grains and has a rustic taste. Stir-fried Tibetan pork: The pork has fat but it is really not greasy at all. The side dishes include black fungus, red and green peppers, and tofu slices. The slightly spicy stir-fry method is very good and goes well with rice. Lhasa tofu: It is wrapped in a crispy outer skin, and the inside is soft, glutinous and sweet. It tastes a bit like pumpkin and is delicious with dipping sauce. Highland barley yak beef cubes: It is sour and spicy, and the grains of highland barley are stir-fried with beef cubes. It is salty and fragrant. It can be used as a staple food or with rice. Ginseng fruit yak yogurt: The milk is thick and sticky, and the rich taste is very fragrant. Ginseng fruit particles and honey are placed on it, which is moderately sweet and sour. Tibetan vegetarian vegetable rolls: The sauce is particularly mellow, and the vegetable rolls are refreshing and not greasy. Rose pear: Refreshing and delicious, with an icy taste that is very refreshing. Tibetan sweet tea: Sweet and rich, it is so delicious when it is hot, and you can't stop drinking it. Saffron steamed eggs: soft and delicious, smooth in the mouth. Although the dishes are traditional Tibetan food, I feel that they are still innovative after eating them. The taste is unique but very delicious. The dishes are very beautifully presented, and my friends are full of praise for them. The proprietress is very considerate and comes to our table from time to time to ask if the dishes are to our taste. I heard that there is also a store in Nanjing. It is really good to pass on Tibetan delicacies to the mainland. ✨Minzhu Ramu Shangri-La Kitchen 📍Address: No. 66, Cicika Street ⌚️Business hours: 11:00-13:30 17:00-21:30 💰Per capita: 108 yuan/person #Local food #Try the authentic old brand #Romantic date restaurant

It was built according to the ideal country of Shambhala in the Buddhist scriptures. The ancient city was built on the mountain, and the road surface is undulating. It is paved with old stones that have been there for a long time. To this day, there are still deep horse hoof prints on the stone road, which are the tokens left by the horse caravans of that year. 👉 The area of ​​Lijiang Ancient City: 1255.4 square kilometers. 👉 The area of ​​Dukezong Ancient City: 1.6 square kilometers. ● Dukezong is the best preserved and largest Tibetan community in China. Personal experience: The overall situation is similar to Lijiang Ancient City, including the things sold, the prices of things, etc. There are also many homestays in the ancient city. There are almost no delicious restaurants in the ancient city. If you want to eat delicious food, you have to go outside Gucheng. There is a Yunnan rice noodle (next to Dicos) at the gate of Huaxiang, you can also try it, the taste is okay.
