This restaurant may be the most comfortable service I have ever experienced. This restaurant puts customers first in all details. And the food tastes very good, it is worth a good meal.
The charcoal grilled spareribs are fragrant, the meat is full and delicious, the peppery boneless chicken feet are rich in collagen protein, spicy and fragrant, and the taste is very smooth. The shrimp is sweet and plump, and the service attitude is good.

The decoration of this restaurant is really luxurious, giving people a sense of dignity as soon as they enter.
The food in the restaurant is so exquisite that it is hard to imagine that this is a dish that can be eaten, but more like a work of art.
This restaurant not only has unique dishes, but also very thoughtful service, making people feel at home.
The dishes are more Hunan-style, and the portions are generous. The restaurant was full at around 12:00, and there were not many people, so the business was pretty good.
"Jiahe Tofu" The tofu is very tender, remember to pour the sauce on it when eating it, it will be more flavorful
"Sour Cabbage Fish" The fish fillet is hidden at the bottom of the bowl, the sour taste is really good
"Peanut Sprouts" I like this dish very much, it is very flavorful, and peanut sprouts are suitable for this season

The crayfish here are delicious. There are three flavors: spicy, hot and spicy, and garlic flavor. One portion is just enough for three or four people, and two more dishes can be stir-fried. There are heads removed and heads left. It is recommended to order the whole shrimp to avoid dead shrimp. The shrimp is still fresh. The snails taste good, but it is hard to pick them one by one.
[Taste] Strong, the taste is still a bit heavy, the price is OK

Nice environment, good taste, I chose it blindly and it was not a wrong choice.
"After visiting Chenzhou, I discovered this hidden gem of a route to avoid the crowds! My bestie begged me not to post it on WeChat Moments!"
I just took some friends on a trip to Chenzhou, and for the price of a bowl of fish noodles, we got a fantastical and wild experience! This guide addresses the three biggest pain points: crowds, potential pitfalls, and not knowing where to stay. Save it! ✨
🚶♀️ Two-Day Itinerary (Enjoy the Amazing Beauty and Wildness)
Day 1: Misty Xiaodongjiang River + Bailang Cycling
✅ 5:30 Xiaodongjiang River Mist Viewing (Reach Observation Deck 2 before 6:00 AM for a breathtaking fisherman's net-casting show)
✅ 8:00 Dongjiang Lake Dam (Boat Tour, VIP Access Saves 1-Hour Line)
✅ 12:00 Bailang Lake Cycling (E-bike Rental 50 RMB/day, Capture "Little Erhai Lake"-style Photos)
🌙 6:00 PM Suspension Bridge Night Market (Must-Try: Pig-Slaughtering Rice Noodles, Fish Noodles, Grilled Dongjiang Fish)
Day 2: Gaoyiling and Yangtian Lake Prairie
✅ 7:00 AM Gaoyiling (Walk the "Dragon's Back" to save entrance fees, drone photography is even more stunning)
✅ 11:00 AM Yangtian Lake Prairie (Feed the Deer and Hobbit House, Pretend You're in New Zealand)
🌙 4:00 PM Must-do before returning: Buy a bag of Linwu duck as a souvenir (choose mild for spiciness!)
🍜 Food Hits and Hits (A Bloody Summary)
👍 Must-eat List
Breakfast: Jinguo Fish Noodles (with sour beans and a fried egg, 10 yuan per person, full)
Snack: Rice Dumplings (from the grandmother's stall at the train station, thin skin and generous filling)
Dinner: Dingjiajia (blood duck and taro duck, 60 yuan per person)
👎 Warning
"Dongjiang Salmon" at the entrance to the scenic area (mostly rainbow trout impersonation)
"Grilled Dongjiang Fish" for 10 yuan for 3 skewers at the night market (so small it's almost impossible to fill your mouth)
💡Secret way to enjoy it:
Ask the owner for an extra spoonful of chili oil for the fish noodles! It's so fragrant it'll leave you breathless!
📸 A photogenic spot (avoid tourist photos)
Xiaodongjiang Observation Deck No. 2 (morning mist and backlit fishing nets for an ink painting effect)
Gaoyiling Dragon Back (use a wide-angle lens to capture the "Mars surface")
Yangtian Lake Windmills (best lighting around 4 pm, look even more ethereal in a white dress)
👗Outfit suggestions:
Wearing Hanfu in Xiaodongjiang instantly transforms you into a chivalrous warrior
Wearing overalls and Doc Martens in Gaoyiling for a post-apocalyptic, wasteland-inspired vibe
🚗 Transportation Tips
Take the high-speed rail to Chenzhou West Station and share a car to Xiaodongjiang (30 yuan per person, cheaper than a taxi).
Choose the "Farmer's Villa" entrance at Gaoyiling (save an hour of climbing).
Rent a round-trip car to Yangtian Lake for 400 yuan (the mountain road is dizzy, so don't drive yourself!).
💰 Money-Saving Tips:
Buy Line B of the Xiaodongjiang Morning Mist Ticket (which includes a boat ride and is worth more than Line A).
Stay in Zixing City for 60% cheaper than the scenic area.
💌 A Local's Secret Easter Egg
Xiaodongjiang also has light mist at 4 pm (less crowded and free).
Aerial photos of Gaoyiling's "Monitor Lizard Lake" look like a dinosaur's back.
Take a boat to Phoenix Island from Bailang Wharf (secretly haggle down to 80 yuan per person).
Do you think the fishermen casting their nets on Xiaodongjiang are posing for photos or are they actually fishing?
Or...what outrageous scams have you encountered in Chenzhou? **Battle in the Comments! **👇

Spiciness recommendation🔥🔥🔥
Macau slightly spicy challenge succeeded✔️
Feeling 🟰Gaozi slightly spicy!
Friends from all over Guangdong can try it
There is also 3 slightly spicy levels~ I told the boss that it’s just slightly spicy
I prefer to eat young chicken, which is a bit tender
This restaurant is really good at cooking! 📍Located in Macau Roast Chicken
The whole street is full of roast chicken restaurants, so you don’t have to queue for a long time in front of Gaozi Roast Chicken. Macau is next door, so I came to try it~Recommended dishes: milky steamed buns, fried noodles! Must order! Super love, even if you don’t eat roast chicken, you have to eat fried noodles, hurry up🐛~
The taste is good, but a bit spicy...

Oh my god! As a native of Hubei, I can only say "delicious!" This shop is very popular. Friends who want to go should arrive early. The roast chicken tastes so delicious. My friend and I said we like it very much. But I suggest that you say "slightly spicy" when ordering. Slightly spicy is still very spicy (❁´◡`❁)*✲ﾟ*
The whole street is full of roast chickens. This one is pretty good. The portion is big and the service is okay. But the environment is too noisy. There are a lot of smokers. I couldn't open my eyes. I ran away before I finished eating. Overall, the taste is good, but you'd better come when there's no one around.

Seriously! This is the dish that Chenzhou locals love to eat😋
Because more and more Guangdong people come to Chenzhou for tourism, most restaurants in Chenzhou have become more and more light in flavor. This time I finally found a restaurant that Chenzhou people love to eat🤩
Store name🏠 80s Fan Bar·Selected Guiyang Cuisine
Address📍 Beihu Street, Jiankang Road, Beihu Commercial Building, second floor, east end and first floor corridor
🦐Juewei rosenbergii
A huge bowl was served, with many rosenbergii, a large portion, and each one was very big👍very fresh, firm meat It's chewy and spicy with garlic, so fragrant🤤
🐔Tea oil fried chicken
It's really fried with tea oil. It made me drool as soon as it was served. The tea oil smells so good🤤The chicken is from the countryside, it's very delicious, the meat is not dry at all😋
Guiyang blood duck
The blood duck has a special fragrance. It looks very dark in color, but it tastes very good. The most favorite is the spicy taste of the blood duck🌶️
The dishes in this restaurant are all spicy. This is the taste of the dishes that we Chenzhou people should eat🤭#Chenzhou Travel #Chenzhou Tourism Guide #Chenzhou Food Recommendation #Chenzhou Guiyang Wanghu Ecological Manor #Local Food
