The overall decoration style is also Chinese, with a sense of age 🤳【Queue】I went there at 7pm, and there were many people on weekdays, but there were still seats 👩‍🍳【Service】Order your dishes first, and they will be served when they are ready.

Before it becomes too popular, hurry and experience this ethereal ancient city! --- 📅 One-Day Itinerary Morning: Depart from downtown Changde and take the Y26 tourist bus (fare 2 yuan, every 45 minutes) directly to the "Datang Sima City" station.
