Zhan yi gong shi la zi Chicken (zhan yi)

I went there twice to eat, a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of braised chicken, and a plate of special fried potatoes, it was delicious! The taste is heavy, if you can't eat spicy, you can eat braised, the taste is also good! The location is easy to find, follow the navigation, it's on the roadside.

I ordered their signature spicy chicken, but was really disappointed, it was all mushy. The fried rice balls were not fried well. The place is big and parking is convenient, but the taste of the food is disappointing. The service staff is also indifferent.

#QujingGoldenAutumnScenicCultureTour Qujing, Yunnan's second-largest city and the gateway to eastern Yunnan, is a prime autumn destination for wild scenery, captivating culture, and plentiful food! 1. Pearl River Source Scenic Area: A "secret water source" visited by even Xu Xiake. Enjoy breathtaking hiking experiences. In the golden autumn, the waters of the Zhanyi Pearl River source are as blue as if filtered through a filter. The shadows of the pine trees lining the shore sway in the water, creating a National Geographic-style photo opportunity. How to experience it authentically? - Follow in Xu Xiake's footsteps and hike to the source. The trail is beginner-friendly. In the crisp autumn weather, step on fallen leaves, listen to birdsong, and check in on the stone tablet marking the "First Drop of Water from the Pearl River." This journey back to the source is a truly ceremonial experience. Don't miss the scenic area's observation deck. From there, you can gaze down at the mountains and forests. The autumn breeze, carrying the delicate fragrance of pine needles, washes your face. Take a deep breath, and it's like your lungs are equipped with an air purifier. Practical Tips: Tickets: Tickets are only a few dozen yuan at the door, and students can get them half-price. Transportation: A one-hour drive from downtown Qujing; if you prefer not to drive, take the tourist bus, which runs frequently and takes just over an hour. Outfit: The temperature in the mountains fluctuates greatly in autumn, so remember to bring a light jacket and hiking shoes for comfort and style. 2. Cuan Culture: A "Living Fossil" of Chinese Character Evolution, a true gem for history buffs. Qujing is the birthplace of Cuan culture, and the "Two Cuan Stele" (the Cuan Baozi Stele and the Cuan Longyan Stele) are hidden here. The Cuan-style characters on these steles represent a crucial step in the evolution from official script to regular script, and are highly regarded in both calligraphy and history circles. For in-depth gameplay, see here: - Head straight to the Cuan Culture Museum and find a guide (or do your own research beforehand) to hear stories of the Cuan family's rule in Yunnan. Contemplate the inscriptions on the thousand-year-old stone stele, whose strokes hold the secrets of the evolution of Chinese characters. - Calligraphy enthusiasts are advised to bring a small notebook and trace a few strokes from the stele to feel the force of the ancient handwriting. Share a post on WeChat Moments to solidify your image as a cultural enthusiast. Babysitter's Guide: - Location: Located in downtown Qujing, a few minutes by taxi or bus. - Hours: Closed on Mondays, so don't miss out; otherwise, it's free, so go for it. - Neighborhood: Near the museum are numerous cultural and creative shops dedicated to Cuan culture. Bookmarks and seals in the Cuan style are worth buying as souvenirs. 3. Qujing Cuisine: From morning till night, a carb and spicy food lover's delight - Steamed Rice Noodles: The breakfast king of Qujing: Steamed rice noodles are the culinary secrets of a Qujing local! Soft and glutinous rice noodles are topped with meat sauce, garnished with crispy scallions and chives. Just toss them together and enjoy the aroma of the sauce and rice, for a carb-filled treat. We recommend the "Laosan Rice Noodles," a local favorite. - Spicy Chicken: Qujing's spicy chicken is incredibly spicy and fragrant. The chicken is deep-fried to a crispy exterior and tender inside, then stir-fried with dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns. The chicken is served gleaming with red oil and can easily complement two bowls of rice. "Zhanyi Gong's Spicy Chicken" is a time-honored favorite frequented by locals. - A hidden gem: Grilled Rice Noodles: Smear roasted rice noodles with fermented bean curd sauce, add a fried dough stick or ham sausage, and take a bite. The glutinous rice noodles, the salty sauce, and the crispy fried dough sticks explode in your mouth—carb bliss is that simple. 4. One-stop, "nanny-level" arrangements for food, accommodation, and transportation ensure no pitfalls. - Comfortable and affordable accommodations: If you want to explore the city, choose a hotel in central Qujing, where many chain brands offer excellent value. If you want to be close to the source of the Pearl River, there are also numerous B&Bs and hotels in Zhanyi District, some of which offer mountain views, allowing you to wake up and be greeted by a lush greenery. - Excellent transportation: The high-speed rail goes directly to Qujing North Station, and from there, you can easily catch a taxi or bus to reach most of the city's attractions. If you're driving, Yunnan's highways are so smooth and smooth that you'll want to sing along. - Don't miss out on nearby attractions: If you have time, explore the colorful sand forests in Luliang, a multi-million-year-old formation that makes photos look like you've been transported to another planet. Alternatively, visit Luoping (although the rapeseed flower season is over, the autumn countryside is still a breathtaking sight). #The Place Most Asked About on WeChat Moments #CityHumanitiesNotes In Qujing's golden autumn, the mountains and rivers offer wild charm, the culture is profound, and the food is vibrant.
