👍️Must-visit stores: ① Jiujiu Food Stall This is my second time at Jiujiu Food Stall Recommendation Index: [ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp][ThumbsUp] I really like their chicken soup dumplings. They are cheaper than Laojiefang. The classic braised duck with duck feet and duck neck is pretty good. The duck head is really too spicy for me. The rest of the spicy dishes are just right. We ordered: Chicken soup dumplings~Vermicelli pot~Classic braised duck~Dry pot bamboo shoots~Boiled lettuce ② Laojiefang This is my fourth time there. Many tourists come here to eat. It is really good. I recommend the chicken soup here. It is 99 yuan, which is 20 yuan more expensive than Jiujiu. We ordered four dishes. Stir-fried pork ribs~Dry Pot yellow croaker ~ caviar vermicelli 🕐️Check-in time: Jiujiu food stall is open from noon to 2 am Laojiefang is open from the morning to 9 pm 💰️Price per person: Laojiefang: 50-60 Jiujiu food stall: 50~70 💗Other tips: If you can't eat spicy food, don't choose Jiujiu's duck head; If you want to order Laojiefang's chicken feet, the aunt said to call and make a reservation at 11 am; Drink chicken soup instead of chicken and love dumplings🥟Go to Jiujiu food stall If you want to eat chicken, go to Laojiefang, Laojiefang is a whole chicken🐔 Jiujiu vs Laojiefang Jiujiu wins Because Jiujiu is more affordable If you choose, you can try both. The one closer to the scenic spot is Laojiefang, and the one farther away is Jiujiu food stall #Jingzhou Food #Hometown Snacks I'll pick

Are the crayfish by the Yangtze River delicious? Today I came to Jiujiu Pai Dang in Jingzhou to eat crayfish. The decoration inside the store has a little sense of the Republic of China, with some special small decorations, and the business is pretty good. The kitchen is transparent, and the dishes are served directly at the bar. The flavor of the garlic crayfish is very authentic. The garlic flavor is very fragrant, and the shrimps have been deveined, very clean, 109 for a plate, and the portion is very large. The steamed prawns are very large, the meat is very firm, and they are very delicious. The only drawback is that there are only 10 pieces for 90 per portion, which is a bit expensive. I especially recommend this braised turtle, which is very local, 22 for a whole, the meat is chewy and tasty, and it is very delicious. The snails have a mellow taste and rich spicy taste. Don't miss it if you like spicy food. Cold noodles are also a delicacy that cannot be missed. The portion is very large, and a small portion is enough. The stinky tofu is very crispy, not stinky, but the taste is very good, not inferior to Changsha at all. This meal costs 90 per person, which is relatively expensive in Jingzhou, but the environment and taste are good, suitable for entertaining relatives and friends. This restaurant is located opposite the Chinese Medicine Hospital at the intersection of Jiangjin Middle Road and Hongxing Road. Bus No. 24 can reach
