I planned my long-awaited trip to Leshan as the last stop of my trip to western Sichuan! Suji Ancient Town ☞ the birthplace of Qiaojiao beef, with a history of over 1,400 years. In 2021, it was named a "Suji Qiaojiao Beef Specialty Town" by the People's Government of Sichuan Province. The main ingredient of Qiaojiao beef is also the culture of Suji Ancient Town, which is a town that fully presents the historical and cultural characteristics of "Qiaojiao beef." It's not an exaggeration to arrange the first meal in Leshan here. But there was a real problem with the choice, there were too many Qiaojiao beef restaurants, how could I choose? So experience told me, "You can't go wrong if you go to a crowded place 💃😃😃😃." The Qiaojiao beef restaurant I went to was very large, and the words "intangible cultural heritage" were particularly eye-catching. The waiters were very enthusiastic. In addition to Qiaojiao beef as the signature dish, many authentic Leshan delicacies can be arranged here. This is also one of the reasons for choosing their restaurant. Qiaojiao beef 🥩: To be honest, the signature dish didn't feel particularly special, the beef was very fresh, the soup was very delicious, and there was a lot of cilantro. You must dip it in the dry seasoning to experience the true essence of Qiaojiao beef. Sister Yang's shredded eel 🐍: The shredded eel is cut into strips as thick as shredded potatoes, and a portion is about 350–400 g. The shredded eel is crispy and tender, and you can taste the freshness. Maybe the taste is not much different from Chongqing cuisine, it was not as amazing as I imagined. Sweet-skinned duck 🐥: Maybe my expectations were too high, I was a little disappointed. The duck skin was not too sweet, but the taste was good and very fragrant. The meat was too thick, and it tasted a bit like goose meat. Personally, I still prefer duck meat with less skin and a sweeter taste. I didn't expect that besides these three signature dishes, their other Sichuan dishes were actually quite good. ♧ Old beef tendon ♧ Boiled beef tongue ♧ Tender and smooth ♧ All very distinctive. Highly recommend ♧ Steamed beef with rice flour, delicious! I ordered two portions 💯💯💯!

In the last half day of my stay in Leshan, I decided to take a trip to Suji Ancient Town, which had mixed reviews online. You can travel as you please🧳 Commercialization is indeed the norm in ancient towns everywhere. Suji Ancient Town, which is cool in the morning, is worth a stop and a walk to feel the original rhythm of life in this ancient town. The maids gathered together to play cards, and gathered shirtless in the teahouse to drink tea and chat. There are also the silver-haired grandparents sitting at the door watching the fireworks in the ancient town... If you are like me and like to bring a camera with you📷to freeze certain moments when traveling lazily, you can spend half a day wandering around Suji Ancient Town in Leshan, locating these four stores in order, and discover along the way that this ancient town has not been commercialized some moments 👟Route: Xu Liang Gao-Satisfaction Ceramics-Tangli Coffee🍐-Xiaoyang Jijiao Beef 1⃣️Xu Liang Gao Address: No. 158, Duihechang Street, Shizhong District Business hours:09:00-21:00 Start your day with a bowl of 💰3.5 cold cake. The cold cake is made from pure natural rice and has no other additives. It is paired with sufficient and thick caster brown sugar. It has a dense texture and at the same time you can eat the fine particles after the brown sugar has been casted. It is recommended to stir the cold cake into small pieces and mix well with the brown sugar. Every bite will be delicious. 2⃣️Satisfied Ceramics Shop Address: 🧭 Navigate to Guxiang City·Leshan Courtyard Business hours:10:00-18:00 I personally like visiting ceramics shops. This ceramics shop is hidden in an old house in Suji Ancient Town. The traces of time in the old house match the ceramics unexpectedly. The store owner’s control over details can be seen in every frame of the picture. , I think it’s a healing shop worth stopping in the ancient town. 3⃣️Tangli Coffee🍐 Address: No. 19, Back Street, Suji Town, Shizhong District Business hours:10:30-18:00 Just a few steps away from the Satisfied Ceramics Shop, you can see the Tangli Coffee Shop. It’s almost noon, so I just want to stop for a cup of coffee in Tangli to avoid the blazing sun and avoid the crowds at lunchtime. Tangli is a renovated old house with a wooden structure that is hundreds of years old. You can still hear the creaking sound when you go up to the second floor from the wooden stairs. It is a very good coffee shop for a break. 4⃣️Xiao Yang Qiao Beef Address: No. 90, Dustpan Street, Shizhong District Business hours:08:00-15:30 When the sun has a little lessened its rays and the flow of people during the meal gradually recedes, you can go out to look for food. Suji Ancient Town is the birthplace of cross-legged beef. If you come to Suji, you must have a meal of cross-legged beef. I chose Xiao Yang because his family can serve it in a small bowl instead of a pot. It is not too friendly to a one-person traveler. The ingredients are passed through After boiling a pot of ancestral soup on the stove, it is dipped in salty, spicy and dry-flavored dipping sauce. Although it is not amazing, it is very comfortable. After avoiding the crowds, Suji Ancient Town is perfect for wandering around slowly...

Compared to going to some commercial districts, I prefer to visit some ancient towns to experience the slow pace of life, understand the local customs, and enjoy the atmosphere of life that the city lacks. I recently went to Suoji Ancient Town during an off-peak period, and it felt quite nice. Compared to other ancient towns, it is not so commercialized and retains a lot of its original ecology, making it very worth visiting. The pace of life in the ancient town is quite slow, especially when going to the market and residential areas, where the atmosphere of life is very strong, and the locals are very simple and enthusiastic, making it a great place. 🚘Transportation Strategy 🚌Bus: Bus lines 3, 9, 12 reach Suoji Ancient Town 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to Suoji Ancient Town, parking is free 🚕Taxi: About 12km from Leshan City to Suoji Ancient Town, half an hour by car, taxi fare around 30 🎫Ticket: Free ⭐Recommended Tour Route 1️⃣Drinking tea by the river It's very pleasant to sit by the river, drink tea, and enjoy the scenery. There are also places for chess and card entertainment by the river, where you can invite a few friends to play. There are also tour boats on the river, where you can take a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ancient town. 2️⃣Stroll through the ancient town market There are many stalls selling local handicrafts in the ancient town, which feel very nice. Especially a grocery store, the items inside are quite exquisite 3️⃣The grocery store under the roof The location is not easy to find, we navigated there, and there are many cute little things inside. It's suitable for taking photos and checking in outside, quite artistic~ 4️⃣Enjoy the food ✔️Siniang Ka Bing🫓 Different from the usual Ka Bing, it contains a lot of small ingredients, and the taste is very good, worthy of being a shop that requires almost 1 hour of queuing. It is recommended not to go on weekends, as there are super many people in line. However, the boss lady is super enthusiastic ✔️Chuan Mei Fancy Bingfen🍧 I heard a recommendation from a friend before, ordered a 'Mother-in-law Bingfen', and really liked the glutinous rice cake and handmade brown sugar inside, not too sweet or greasy ✔️Ji Liuniang Sweet Skin Duck🦆 This shop is quite famous for sweet skin duck in Leshan, and it has opened a branch in Suoji Ancient Town, with quite a few people queuing up. My friend particularly likes it. ✔️Freshly Made Brown Sugar Cake There are many people queuing up for the brown sugar cake opposite the Xin Qiao Primary School, and my friend bought one. The freshly made brown sugar cake will burst, be careful of scalding. My friend took a bite and accidentally burned his mouth😹 ✔️Ancient Market Tiao Jiao Beef🐮 Tiao Jiao Beef is one of the major specialties of Suoji Ancient Town, and it seems that every street in the ancient town has it. We were mainly attracted by its antique decoration, and the taste should be similar to other shops. ✔️Yingzi Fried Skewers🍢 This is also an internet-famous fried skewer shop. A new branch has opened in the ancient town, and the taste is very good, suitable for friends who like spicy food and like to eat skewers. Overall, it was a nice trip😊 📝Note tips: ✅1、Strongly recommend trying the Tiao Jiao Beef🐂 here, after all, this is the birthplace of Tiao Jiao Beef!! 2、The ancient town is actually not too big, and it takes only a little while to walk around, just on both sides of the river, and the prices are not expensive.

Leshan's snacks are famous nationwide, and as an ancient town near Leshan city, Suqi is also "extremely delicious". During the May Day holiday, it's incredibly crowded here. To be honest, it's not a great place for taking photos and checking in (perhaps because there are too many people during the holiday), but it's definitely a great place for foodies. This is the birthplace of 'Qiao Jiao' beef, and there are many 'Qiao Jiao' beef shops in the ancient town. In addition, you must try Leshan sweet-skin duck, handmade rice candy, tofu pudding, 'Ka Bing' (also called 'Ka Ka Er', a local snack highly recommended by local friends and super popular among locals, which I, as an outsider, didn't fall in love with), and brown sugar crispy cakes. These delicacies can be seen everywhere in the town, with long queues outside some very popular shops. Moreover, it's very close to Linjiang, and I highly recommend trying Linjiang eel shreds, which have a unique preparation and taste. I went a long way to find a place and it was worth the trip. ⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: No. 12, Banbian Street, Shizhong District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province 🚗Transportation strategy: Self-driving (the ancient town has a parking lot, only 10r for parking over 8 hours) 🕙Opening hours: All day 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlights: Two bridges and one river pattern, super delicious 📌Little Tips: Bring your appetite
