I stumbled upon this little restaurant as it's next to my hostel. I liked the tables next by the windows and it gave a sense of calm and old style. The lady prepared for me an amazing mushroom noodle soup that was mouthwashing. Probably one of the best noodles I had in my month in China. The flavours were well balanced, a bit spicy and a bit sour from the pickles, the meat was fresh and the mushrooms very tasty.

Liu Ping Village is located at an altitude of about 800 meters and has a population of over 500 people. It still retains the original Yao characteristics.

The traditional Yao residences in the village were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The architectural colors complement the surrounding environment, forming a unique regional characteristic of "slope roof, yellow wall, wooden window lattice" Yao style. Traditional culture retains many provincial intangible cultural heritages such as Yao marriage customs, Yao mountain songs, Yao herbal medicine, and Panwang dance. At present, the local area adopts a model of scientific protection and rational development and utilization, and actively promotes the sustainable development of traditional villages. Liu Ping Village not only protects traditional houses and cultural relics, but also the surrounding farmland and forests are included in the village environmental protection area, and the entire village presents a brand-new look.
