BEN LUO BO CAN YIN

The second stop of Changsha food stop was the spicy waterloo. I was defeated directly by the "Steamed Xiangli Preserved Duck". This trip to Changsha was twice spicy, this time, and the other time was the duck shank from another restaurant, which was so spicy. The waterfall sweat was so spicy that my head was buzzing. The dish "Vinegar Steamed Chicken" is definitely a bait. The quality of the chicken is very good. It is most likely a free-range chicken. The vinegar steaming has a bit of sourness, which is very appetizing. It is tender and refreshing. Although it is a bit spicy, it can also be used. The scope of acceptance is endless. Until we came to the Steamed Xiangli Cured Duck, my mother-in-law brought the dish and helped us stir the covered chili evenly. While stirring, she asked us how spicy it was. We naively said it was okay. The cured duck itself has spiciness, and When the two kinds of chili peppers are mixed, they are really fragrant and spicy. It is so spicy that my throat hurts, but I don't want to stop. I am enjoying myself. "Perilla snail meat" has a strong perilla flavor. At first, I was timid and put aside the peppers and ate them one by one. However, I gave up on eating the cured duck. I scooped a spoonful of it, covered it with rice and put it in my mouth. Chewing inside, my face turned red, and the little locomotive in my head started to whistle. It was so exciting. Only now did I realize that the spiciness of Hunan cuisine in Shanghai was deceiving local Shanghainese. It's really spicy, but now I'm starting to miss that feeling a little bit while writing this review.

The turnover rate is fast, and the food tastes as good as many high-priced restaurants with an average of 40 yuan per person, which is loved by ordinary people. The design of the dishes is very reasonable, sacrificing comfort and service to improve cost performance and taste. The production method should be highly standardized, with pre-processing, and the dishes are served quickly. The ingredients are common and inexpensive, which reduces the cost, but the taste increases the cost. The auxiliary ingredients and condiments are higher than the main ingredients system, which can get good reviews for the taste. They are all spicy and suitable for eating with rice.

Unlock Changsha this National Day holiday! Stay near Wuyi Square or Peiyuan Bridge for super convenient CityWalk access. Day 1: In the morning, explore the historic and cultural district of Chaozong Street. The old granite pavement, interspersed with vintage shops and arty cafes, creates a striking clash of old and new. For lunch, head straight to "The Return of the Snails" at Wanjiali. The freshly fried snails and shiitake mushrooms are endless, and paired with Guangxi cassava soup or iced tofu pudding, they're a real treat. In the afternoon, check out Fengying Xili, take photos at the wall featuring Zhang Yixing, and grab some Chuanjinji sugar-fried dumplings. Thirsty, grab a Guoyaya (fruit drink)—the quality is top-notch. For dinner, head to Chef Fei's restaurant for a delicious, irresistible stir-fried pork with chili sauce and rice. Afterward, head to Jiefang West to experience the nightscape of Changsha. Day 2: In the morning, visit the Hunan Museum to see artifacts from the Mawangdui Han Tomb and learn more. Remember to make reservations 7 days in advance. For lunch, visit Benluobo. The stir-fried vermicelli with pickled must-try dish is a great value. In the afternoon, explore Baiguo Garden and stop by a literary bookstore or cafe. Tip: Some shops on Chaozong Street open in the afternoon, so it's recommended to spend the afternoon browsing. #ChangshaLocalRecommendedTravelItineraries #ChangshaTravelGuide #ChangshaFood #WhatToDoInChangsha #ChangshaTravel
