Verified user reviews
The decoration inside the store is relatively simple and fresh, with an open kitchen, which looks clean and bright. The style similar to that of a simple modern coffee shop attracts many young people and tourists from other places. There were still many people when I entered the store. I bought tofu pudding, cakes, and drunken tofu pudding. Wait on the second floor.
When the tofu pudding was served and placed in front of me, I didn't want to leave instantly. I decided to eat it at the store. The spoon stirred in the bowl, and the fragrance came out. I was afraid that my friends would wait for a long time in the Qiaojiao Beef Restaurant, so I ate it quickly. It was scalded, but it was delicious. The taste of tofu pudding and the fragrance of the seasoning were very comfortable.
I took the cake back to the Qiaojiao Beef Restaurant to eat, and I didn't feel deeply impressed. After eating the Qiaojiao Beef and the fried Yingzi, I ate the drunken tofu pudding lying on the bed in the hotel. It was more comfortable and a perfect midnight snack dessert.
A small shop that I have always collected. Although it is very "Internet celebrity" style, it really did not ruin the traditional food of Leshan! (Why do I say this? Because in my impression, most of the Internet celebrity shops are good-looking but not delicious.) This shop is still thoughtful, and the food is real.
Snacks are our dinner, and we chose a few things that interested us.
[Egg and beef tofu pudding] 12, + crispy meat 3. Egg is to add eggs to the original tofu pudding, and it is a bit like egg flower when you beat it directly. The beef is steamed beef with rice flour and tastes quite fragrant. The crispy meat is indeed not meaty, but the crispy taste is still very good with tofu pudding. This bowl of toppings looks very tempting, and it is indeed delicious.
[Braised pork crackling cake] 10, I always thought that the outer layer of the crackling cake was white flour pot cake, but here it is a crispy cake skin, one bite is a crackling, qualified "crackling" cake, haha. The braised meat is chopped very finely, and there is a lot of meat in it, which is very full. There is more lean meat than fat, and the braised aroma is rich. It is the type I like.
[Ice drunk tofu pudding] 7, the fermented glutinous rice is indeed very fragrant, and the sweetness is just right, but I feel that the tofu pudding is a little less.
[Handmade cold cake] 7, it is indeed very different from the cold cakes here. It is completely made of rice without any messy things, and there is no alkaline taste. The taste is soft and glutinous, melts in the mouth, and the brown sugar is thick like a sauce. This combination is very delicious.
[Ciba small square] The original price is 6, and it was half price for 3 that day. This is recommended by netizens, but it is indeed quite disappointing. After adding red beans and brown sugar, the ciba itself is dry and hard.
When paying the bill, the little sister asked me if I wanted to add green, and then I asked what "green" was, and then I realized that the "green" here is actually "scallion". I want green, but no coriander. The little sister said they don't have coriander here. yeah!

Leshan Check-in Guide | 2 days and 1 night eating and drinking, meet the most comfortable Sichuan flavor at the foot of the Buddha**
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the fog on the Minjiang River has not yet dissipated, and the spicy aroma of tofu pudding shops in the old street has already wafted. This ancient city in Shu, surrounded by three rivers, has the solemn appearance of the thousand-year-old Buddha on the left hand and the boiling spicy hot pot on the right hand. Even the dance of peppercorns is dancing in the air.
### **🌄【Must-check-in attractions】**
#### **1. Leshan Giant Buddha (must get up early)**
It is recommended to arrive at the north gate of the scenic area before 7:30 and walk slowly down along the nine-curve plank road. When the full appearance of the Buddha gradually appears in the morning light, the 71-meter solemn appearance will make people hold their breath instantly. Hidden gameplay: Take a boat to watch the Buddha (70 yuan/person), and see the wonders of "Buddha is a mountain, and the mountain is a Buddha" in the middle of the river.
#### **2. Suji Ancient Town (the origin of the cross-legged beef)**
The busiest time is at 12 noon:
- Order a bowl of cross-legged beef at "Gushixiang" (the beef offal dipped in dry sauce is so fragrant that you stamp your feet)
- Visit a century-old teahouse to see Sichuan brand stunts
- The red sugar of Xu Lianggao is so thick that it can be pulled into threads
#### **3. Zhanggongqiao Food Street (Night Snack Jianghu)**
The grand opening at 6 pm:
- Ji Liuniang Sweet Skin Duck (crispy skin wrapped in honey and pulled into threads)
- Jiujiu Tofu Brain (beef + crispy meat combination is the soul)
- Yingzi Fried Pork Belly (stir-fried pork belly is sizzling with oil)
#### **4. Mount Emei (Golden Summit Sea of Clouds)**
Take the sightseeing bus to Leidongping at 7 am the next day and hike to the top for 1.5 hours. When the sun shines through the sea of clouds and the golden statue of Samantabhadra looms in the clouds, you will understand what "Emei's world show" is.
### **🍢【Must-eat Food】**
- **Breakfast**: Pan Liu Niang Pork Rib Noodles (clear soup noodles with steamed pork ribs)
- **Lunch**: Linjiang shredded eel (spicy and tender, perfect with patchouli leaves)
- **Dessert**: Chuan Mei Fancy Ice Jelly (three-fresh ice jelly with fermented glutinous rice)
### **📌【Tips】**
- Luggage storage is available at the Big Buddha Scenic Area
- See rapeseed flowers in March and kiwis in October
- Bring Sichuan peppercorn oil and Zhao duck as souvenirs
When you see the confluence of three rivers at Lao Xiaoding, when you discover the Ming Dynasty city wall deep in the alley, when you are numbed by the Sichuan peppercorn flavor of Bobo Chicken to the point of dancing on your tongue... you will understand the true meaning of Leshan - it stews the tranquility of the Buddhist kingdom and the fireworks of the world into the boiling pot of spicy hot pot. Even the toes of the Big Buddha are stained with the joy of the market. #Go out and have fun with friends #These hotels have amazing views #Local food

There are thousands of Bobo Chicken in Chengdu, but I only recognize the authentic Ye Po Po! I came to Leshan from Chengdu.
Geographical location: near Leshan Port
Transportation: From the main gate of Leshan Giant Buddha, take bus No. 4 from Jiadingfang to the terminal station Leshan Port, and walk for about 3 minutes. Or you can drive and park nearby.
2 girls took a lot of skewers as shown in the picture, and finally spent only 60 yuan.
Taste: There are red oil, Sichuan pepper, and garlic flavor
Because I can't eat spicy food, I ordered the red oil flavor
Taste: Red oil with full white sesame, a strong sesame aroma. In fact, the red oil is not very spicy. The ingredients are all cooked in advance. The ingredients are dipped in red oil and sesame, and then eaten one by one, which is very satisfying.
Summary: The environment in the store is very good. Because it is a weekday, there is no queue for a seat, but there is a constant flow of people coming to eat Ye Po Po, the occupancy rate and seat change rate are very high, and there are almost no empty tables.
The waiter was very enthusiastic and had a good attitude: when I was struggling with the taste, the waiter recommended the red oil flavor for the first time; when I asked how to get the food, the waiter said in a Leshan accent: sit down, sit down, and bring it to you; when I was surprised that the food was served so quickly, the waiter smiled and said: it's all ready!
Very satisfying food experience!!! Recommended to all the thousands of foodies who want to eat Grandma Ye and Bobo Chicken!
After eating the Bobo Chicken at Grandma Ye’s house, I knew what the authentic Sichuan flavor is. There are red oil and five-spice options. I strongly recommend the red oil one, which is fragrant and delicious. I will definitely try it again next time I go!

The first bowl of Liang Gao after staying at home for two months
How can you not eat Xu Liang Gao when you come to Leshan? I was a little worried that it was not open. I was so happy to see diners next to the green pillars from a distance.
Three bowls of Liang Gao and a cup of brown sugar ice jelly. I really want to eat their hot and sour jelly. I guess it’s because it’s not hot yet and they haven’t started to supply it.
Liang Gao with brown sugar is so comfortable. Eat a bowl on the spot and take one home. Roar, comfortable.
Overall review:
Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s not in the city of Leshan, because it’s worth a special trip.
A bowl of 3 yuan cold cake will make you cry, because it’s so good value and so delicious.
This level of cold cake would cost at least 10 yuan in Chengdu, and it’s not as good as this one.
The store is a bit shabby, but there are too many people who come here to try it.
Worth it!
Rating: 90 points
Value for money: ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve written nearly 10,000 reviews, but this is the only one with a five-star value for money, which is really rare.
Not just worth it, but great value!
The store is very ingenious, only making cold cakes and ice jelly, of course the main product is brown sugar cold cake.
[Brown sugar cold cake] 3 yuan
What a big two pieces of handmade cold cakes, soft and smooth, delicate and full, definitely not comparable to those made by machines.
It’s soft and sticky, very delicate, and the key is that it’s still bouncy.
The red sugar syrup is the highlight of the restaurant. The grainy texture of the brown sugar is very strong. It is not very sweet, but it is very thick and sticky. It can hold juice and wrap the jelly very well.
Anyway, it looks sweet, but you will definitely feel satisfied after eating a bowl!
[Three Fresh Ice Jelly]
Jelly is not their strong point, but you can try it for a different taste. It's okay, not very special.
Yeah. By the way, if you want brown sugar jelly, just choose this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. There will be surprises.

The taste of the cross-legged beef is not what I expected. I found it delicious after the first bite. There are many people lining up at Feng Sanniang's meal time, but it is still worth it. It is delicious. The beef is very thin and tender, with a light sweetness. It is delicious with dried chili. Not bad
[Taste] Local specialty snacks. So delicious, all kinds of specialties.
[Service] The dishes are served super fast and they don’t mind you taking the things next to them to eat. I bought a big bread to eat.
[Environment] Small shop environment.

The store looks clean and hygienic, the sweet-skin duck tastes very good, the braised duck meat has a strong aroma, the duck skin is sweet but not greasy, it is worthy of being an old brand in Leshan. The clerks are very enthusiastic, and you can feel the upright character of the people of Leshan!
The duck is made with a secret recipe and tastes delicious. The store is small, but the business is very good.

The location is easy to find. It's the most popular one when you walk to Zhanggong Bridge. I came to Leshan and ate there. The restaurant is relatively clean, the waiters are enthusiastic, and the waiting time is not long. I think the taste is good, spicy and delicious.

A very popular steamed dumpling shop, the shop should have a long history. Basically, you have to wait for a table at noon. Many tourists come here to eat. I also saw a table of foreigners. The steamed dumpling is really amazing. The meat filling is really impeccable. After it is steamed, the taste is really delicious. The chicken soup of the chicken soup silver thread noodles is very fresh, and the noodles are a little ordinary. While it is delicious, the service is not satisfactory. Basically everyone has a very arrogant attitude, as if they have made a lot of money. This is really disappointing.
[Taste] Recommended by a friend from Leshan, this siu mai is different from the glutinous rice and bacon siu mai I imagined. This one feels like a steamed bun stuffed with wonton skin. The taste is OK, better than usual. You queue up on one side to order, and then take the order and queue up on the other side to get the siu mai. If there are two people, you can split up and queue up on both sides at the same time. [Environment] There were too many people in line, so the waiter didn't have time to clean up the leftovers on the table, but there was really no room, so I just moved the plate to the side and ate it.
