From the intangible cultural heritage "Three-in-One Pot" to firewood-cooked local dishes, follow this guide and you'll unlock the soulful flavors of Zhangjiajie in just 5 minutes! 🔥 Top 3 Must-Eats in the Core Scenic Area 1. Kuai Le Xiangxi · Authentic Xiangxi Cuisine (Charming Xiangxi Theater Branch) 📍 Location: 2nd Floor, Charming Xiangxi Cultural Plaza, Gaoyun Road (directly opposite the theater) 🍲 Signature Dishes: - Intangible Cultural Heritage "Three-in-One Pot": A golden combination of walnut meat, pig intestines, and pork tripe. The broth is stir-fried with local Xiangxi chilies, with a choice of spiciness. Recommended for pairing with handmade noodles. - Zhangjiajie Boneless Beef: Thinly shredded beef bones with tendons, this spicy and sour dish is a popular snack for locals to take away. - Dried Radish with Cured Pork: Dried mountain radish is stir-fried with smoked bacon for a savory, slightly sweet flavor. Paired with rice, you'll be able to enjoy three bowls straight. 💰 Per Person: 60-80 Yuan 💡 Tips: The line is always long at lunchtime, so arrive before 4:30 PM. Window seats offer a view overlooking the Charming Xiangxi Performance Square. 2. Fu Zhengyi Three-in-One Pot (Signature Branch) 📍 Location: Next to Baixi Garden at the Wulingyuan Signature Gate 🍲 Signature Dishes: - Dry Pot Three-in-One Pot: Choose from bacon, crispy bones, and pig's feet. The "Xiangxi Cured Flavor Combination" is recommended. The bacon fat permeates the radish, making it even more fragrant as it cooks. - Sour Soup Fish: Made with local pickled chili peppers, the fish is tender and boneless, perfect for soaking in the sour soup with rice. 💰 Per Person: 80 Yuan 💡 Tips: With numerous branches, look for the "signature" branch closest to the scenic area exit, a 5-minute walk down the mountain. 3. Xiangxi Tujia Kitchen (Xibu Street Branch) 📍 Location: In an alley off Xibu Street (near Suoxi River) 🍲 Signature Dishes: - Three-Wood Fired Pot: Stir-fry over high heat on a clay stove and then slow-cook in a clay pot. The pork intestines are tender and not greasy. The broth, infused with local konjac and tofu, becomes increasingly flavorful as it simmers. - Rockfish Stewed with Tofu: Wild rockfish is slow-cooked with mountain spring water, resulting in a milky, sweet broth. The tofu is infused with the fish's flavor, making it a great choice for family members. 💰 Per Person: 60-80 Yuan 💡 Tips: We recommend making reservations by phone in advance. You can dine on the terrace by the stream in the evening. Afterward, stroll through Xibu Street to enjoy the folk performances. 🍢 Street Food Guide 1. Nanmenkou Food Street (5-minute walk, eat everything) - Pig Brain Cold Noodles: Flat alkaline noodles with a secret red oil and a side of shredded pig ears, a spicy and appetizing treat. - Yongcheng Eighteen-son Fish Mouth: Vacuum-packed and ready to go, spicy and delicious, a must-have for binge-watching TV series. - Sugar-coated Baba: Crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, drizzled with red sugar syrup, 5 yuan per portion for a satisfying meal. 2. Hourong Street Night Market (Night Owl Paradise) - Zhangji Grilled Lamb Chops: Available only after 10 PM, featuring a crispy crust wrapped around tender lamb. Perfect with beer. - Time-honored Stinky Tofu: Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in their secret pickled radish sauce, a great way to beat the spiciness. 🚗 Transportation and Pitfall Avoidance Guide 1. Walking distance to the core area: The signature restaurants of Kuaile Xiangxi and Fuzhengyi Sanxiaguo are both located near the gate. We recommend walking there after descending the mountain. 2. Around Xibu Street: You can take a taxi (starting price: 8 yuan) or bus No. 1 to Xibu Street Station to reach Xiangxi Tujia Kitchen. 3. Recommended self-driving options: Yicun Yard (Longweiba Village, Xiehe Township) and Yipinyuan Hunan Cuisine Flavor Building (Jundi Road) are suitable. The former's stewed pheasant with rock fungus and the latter's open-fire braised pork are worth trying. 4. Pitfall Avoidance Tips: Restaurants within the scenic area are quite expensive. It is recommended to walk 10 minutes to eat near the gate. Be wary of "wild mushroom hotpot" restaurants that solicit customers, as some businesses use farmed mushrooms as substitutes. 📍 Useful Information - Best time to eat: Lunch from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Arrive before 5:30 PM for dinner to avoid the peak tourist group season. - Payment: Most restaurants accept QR code payments, so bring some cash in case of poor signal. - Recommended souvenirs: Yongcheng Shibazi Fish Mouth, Kudzu Root Powder, and Tujia Bacon (available at the specialty shops on Xibu Street).
