The mutton melts in your mouth without any smell. The original fire pit, charcoal grilled meat. Strong Naxi ethnic characteristics. The courtyard is quite rustic. No disappointment. I will definitely come again next time.
Red umbrellas, white bars, you won't lie down after eating it. Five people ordered two pots. The black goat tastes good. It's authentic local black goat with skin and bones. The local chicken stewed with wild mushrooms is really unforgettable. Love it.

It was so unexpected and a great surprise. The dishes were fresh and tasted great. I was able to try many special dishes. The coated tofu and water-based fry were super delicious. It's in a small alley in the Zhongyi Night Market and not very easy to find. You can see it by following the navigation and asking for directions. Finally, I wish the store a prosperous business.
Every time I'm in Lijiang, I always eat at Dianxi Prince. The Huo Piao beef is delicious and a must-order. The Pao Lu Da is also unique, with a strong coconut flavor. The shredded chicken rice noodles are also delicious. If you haven't tried it before, you must try it. The price is very good and the transportation is very convenient. It's right next to the Bailong parking lot, making parking very easy. The environment is also very nice. I heard there's a show at 8:10 pm, which I'm really looking forward to. I will definitely eat at Dianxi Prince again next time I'm in Lijiang.

Not bad, not bad. Very delicious. Very good service. Very good environment.
Every dessert in the hotel is very exquisite. It is simply delicious. Very good, very good, not bad.
I came to this restaurant many years ago and I thought the food was very delicious.
The goose liver mushrooms I ate this time were so touching.
At this price, the goose liver is large slices.
Before leaving Lijiang, I went to eat goose liver and water lily again.
It has been open for so many years, and the taste and quality can still be maintained so well.
It is really not easy.
I must come to your restaurant to eat when I come to Lijiang.

This restaurant was recommended by b&b owner where they come usually.The signature cured pork ribs hotpot is very nice, and the soup is boil everyday. The portion is big and It is so delicious and we almost finished all soup
Recommended by the local B&B owner, this is a small restaurant he usually goes to.
The signature cured pork ribs and chicken hotpot 🍲 is full of pork ribs and chicken. Drink the soup first, it's so delicious, I finished three bowls in a row!!!
The ribs are all from the ribs, the meat is very good
There are also many crispy bones that I love. The ribs are slightly salty
It's mainly the aroma of cured meat, dipped in chili and very delicious with rice
The grandma's secret aged ham slices are really delicious
It feels more rich than the ribs and more delicious with rice
Finally, cook the mushroom platter, it's really amazing!

Thank you very much to our store and Lijiang for letting us experience such a pleasant travel life. The meal for two is affordable and rich. Thank you! It would be even better if our store brewed more wine and offered preferential prices.
In addition to Yunxueli, there is another restaurant recommended in Lijiang Ancient Town.
The entrance is covered by grass and trees, and the sign is recessed in the door.
Walking into the courtyard, there are many green plants and small bridges and flowing water.
We sat on the second floor, looking at the roof, and dictating JJ Lin's popular songs.
The barley cake is delicious, different from the steamed cakes outside.
| Signature wild mushroom hot pot^ The mushrooms need to be boiled for 18 minutes, and the taste is delicious. It is recommended to taste it!
| Naxi cured pork ribs^ Naxi cured pork ribs are also super delicious.

I found a restaurant in Shuhe Ancient Town to have dinner. I came in because it was popular. The environment was OK, with a small courtyard feeling. The main dish was a Naxi dish. The grilled fish was quite unique. It was not particularly amazing, but it was quite delicious. Water lily was also one of the special vegetables here. You can try it. The food here was also good. Overall, the taste was not too salty. It was a unique and homely restaurant. You can still try it.
This restaurant is located in Shuhe Ancient Town. I discovered it by accident. The environment really attracted me. It is the best restaurant I have been to in Lijiang. It is a garden-style courtyard restaurant with very good decoration. There are many flowers, which are especially suitable for taking photos and checking in. With the blue sky and white clouds, it is another beautiful scenery! I went there with my friends. The dishes are delicious and fragrant. The Pu'er tea braised pork is the MVP. It is especially good with small pot rice. The water lily and local specialty vegetables taste pretty good. The restaurant environment is very good and has a great atmosphere. There are many flowers of various colors in the courtyard. With some drinks and Pao Luda, there are also singers next to it. It is especially great to eat and chat with friends. Hahaha, I will go again next time I have a chance!

Snow Mountain Cloud Wild Mushroom Hotpot (Huama Street Store) is located in a relatively quiet location, but the environment of the store is still very good~👍🏻
When the owner introduced it to us, he said that his family has always insisted on using pure wild mushrooms, so there is no need to worry about eating artificial mushrooms here👀
Indeed, after we ate it ourselves, we felt that wild and artificial are completely on a different level‼ The fresh and fragrant taste is directly stimulated from the ingredients, and it tastes just as good without adding any MSG✅
This time, we also ordered a lot of wild mushrooms that we had never seen before: porcini, 🐔 pine mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, etc., which were directly placed all over the table, and we couldn’t tell which one was which~ Anyway, we just shoved them into our stomachs! We drank several bowls of soup and asked the waitress to refill our soup base. Hehe🤣
You can also bring some food back for your friends when you eat here, such as various dried mushrooms, black truffle soup dumplings, matsutake whiskey, etc.🎁 They are all homemade and guaranteed to be authentic and delicious~
[Environment] The store is quite large, spacious and bright, clean and tidy
[Service] The service attitude is very good
[Taste] Wild mushroom hot pot: The soup is fragrant and sweet, and the mushrooms are soft and delicious, just right!

Because Lijiang is in the rainy season now, the weather will be very cold. If you come here to eat, you will feel very warm, and the meat is very fragrant, especially the tofu. The tofu here is also good, and after being grilled, the tofu is very rich! I like the bean fragrance~(￣▽￣～)~

It was my first spontaneous trip in 25 years. As soon as I landed in Lijiang, I checked various guides. The first stop was Lijiang Ancient Town. The biggest difference from the ancient towns in the Yangtze River Delta is that the ancient buildings are well-preserved and scattered, especially when viewed from the top of the homestay. It is very spectacular and beautiful. Walking on the stone road of the ancient town, admiring each shop with different decoration styles, the only common point is the perfect fusion of decorative flowers and ancient buildings. I felt hungry while walking around. Suddenly, I remembered that I had learned from the Internet that one of the specialties of Yunnan is mushrooms, which is a gift from the season and environment to the locals. I can't wait to taste the delicious mushroom soup. I used the navigation software to quickly find this wild mushroom hotpot restaurant recommended by the locals - Shiquanjiumei. Wild Mushroom Hotpot. I really like the decoration style of the store. After I sat down, the waiter was also very proactive. I ordered a suitable set meal on the waiter's recommendation. When the nine-grid mushroom platter appeared on the table, I was amazed by the different varieties of mushrooms. The soup base was local chicken soup. After the waiter's patient service, all the mushrooms began to blend in the boiling local chicken soup. When the timer sounded, it meant that the moment to taste the deliciousness had finally arrived. The combination of different varieties of mushrooms and chicken soup produced a wonderful taste experience. Each kind of mushroom has a unique aroma and taste. The rich soup instantly made me forget the fatigue of the journey. One bowl, two bowls, three bowls... After trying all 9 kinds of mushrooms, I began to taste the side dishes with satisfaction, red heart potatoes, lamb rolls, chicken bean jelly, mint chrysanthemum tea, and Pao Luda, which satisfied my taste buds. I continued to walk on the streets of the ancient town to enjoy the night view of thousands of lights. #LijiangLocalRecommendedFood#LijiangFood#LijiangTourism#LijiangWildMushrooms#FoodWineBeautifulWildMushrooms

The decoration and layout of the store are very local Yunnan characteristics. The bottom of the pot is charcoal fire. The stone pot is said to release trace elements. Because I have eaten the golden trout set meal before and I think it is really good. Today I want to try the stone pot fish again. The stone pot fish is the local grass carp or something else. I forgot. Before ordering, the lady kindly reminded that you may feel that the fish has a fishy smell. It is a little bit, but for me who loves to eat fish, it is absolutely acceptable. The taste of fish meat is not as hard as black fish. But it is definitely textured. The fish meat is not the kind of thin slices. Insect platter. Why don’t you eat insects when you come to Yunnan? The lady recommended me the insects that are suitable for the current season. They are crispy and delicious. The yak beef slices are not thin slices, not hot ones, but iced and then cut. This is a seasonal issue. The situation may be different in different seasons. Friends need to ask clearly before ordering. Finally, I need to praise their service. It is very good.
Lijiang Shiguo Yushanzhen Restaurant, a wild mushroom restaurant
🏠Environment:
The environment is pretty good, with a mushroom-themed decoration. It is also easy to find, just a little past the South Gate Starbucks
👨Service:
The service is good, and the waiter is also very enthusiastic to introduce various mushrooms
The price-performance ratio is also very high, and all the food is fresh
I mainly ordered morels and matsutake mushrooms, which are mainly fresh. I guess there are a lot of them in one plate, which is still very cost-effective. A pound of Yunnan fresh matsutake mushrooms is about 400 yuan. It is very cost-effective to eat so much for more than 100 yuan.
