The food is strong and salty, but the quality is good and the price is moderate. Chaoyanglou, which was "endorsed" by Cixi, is a signboard of Xuanhua's catering industry. Chaoyanglou is located on the northwest side of the intersection of Xuanhua Pedestrian Street and Xuanfu Street. It was built in the late Ming Dynasty. It is said that when the people of the city welcomed and sent off Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang, it was the chef here who carefully prepared a table of Xuanhua's unique "grape banquet" for the King of Chuang. Chaoyanglou was rebuilt in the early Qing Dynasty. It is a two-story brick and wood structure building with Ming and Qing styles. It has always been an authentic Hui Muslim feature. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Tianba, who was feared by the southern provinces, had a duel with the famous bandit Jiuhua Niangniang in the northern part of the Jimingyi area, and held a banquet in Chaoyanglou to reward his brothers. The prosperity of Chaoyanglou's business also benefited from the visit of Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in the 26th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1900 AD), due to the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu and members of the royal family, fled to Xi'an in a hurry. They fled westwards through Xiahuayuan Jimingyi and arrived in Xuanhua, where they stayed at Shanggu Public Office, which was adjacent to Chaoyang Tower. The elderly Empress Dowager Cixi was anxious, exhausted, and hungry. After arriving in Xuanhua, she stayed at Shanggu Public Office for three days, with Chaoyang Tower providing meals for every meal. In particular, after eating shabu-shabu mutton, she ate a large piece of watermelon from Liujiayao. After eating a full meal, she ventilated herself, and the stagnation of anger and stagnation over the past few days was discharged. The Empress Dowager praised her repeatedly. After relaxing, Cixi played tricks and ordered Guangxu to issue the "Repentance Edict" to the whole country. At this time, the Eight-Power Allied Forces had already passed through Juyongguan and approached Xiahuayuan after burning, killing and looting in the capital, and Cixi and her entourage had no choice but to continue to flee westward... Influenced by the feudal society's "male superiority and female inferiority" ideology, Chaoyanglou initially stipulated that women were prohibited from dining upstairs and could only sit in the corner of the first floor. After Empress Dowager Cixi left, the restaurant liberated its mind, boldly reformed, and put up a sign - welcome women to eat upstairs. For a time, women from Xuanhua City and the surrounding areas, supporting their mothers and leading their daughters, came here to dine in an endless stream. Since then, the business here has been prosperous for a long time, and it was approved as a "China Centennial Time-honored Brand" in 2012. Now Chaoyanglou's pies are still very popular, and many people order takeout. There are parking spaces at the door, and parking is 2 yuan/hour.
The only old brand in Zhangjiakou, there is a parking space at the door, and you can park for free for 2 hours if you spend more than 100 yuan. You need to wait for a seat at meal time, there is no number called, you have to find a seat by yourself, because there are few waiters and they are too busy. But they are all very enthusiastic to help and keep an eye on. The dishes are large and the meat is delicious. Mending meat pie, recommended, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, especially delicious.
This should be the most famous and historic restaurant in Xuanhua City. Because it was just a short stay, I didn't have dinner. I gave up the hotel breakfast and came here for breakfast. There is a parking space at the door, and you can still find a parking space in the morning. Breakfast is optional. You need to apply for a card first. The food is placed there. You can ask the waiter to swipe the card if you need anything. You can find a place to eat by yourself. There are many people, most of them are elderly. It feels very similar to Huguo Temple and Jinfang in Beijing. It is a halal restaurant with all kinds of delicious food. What I must eat is the meat pie. It is indeed thin in skin and large in filling, but it is a bit salty for me. It is freshly made and needs to be waited, but it is very hot. The meatball soup is very suitable for meat pie or sesame sauce biscuits. I can't finish a big bowl. The hot buns and noodles look so appetizing. I just hate that I have a small appetite. The price is cheap. I really want to go again.
The store is along the street, easy to find, and the big sign of "old brand" is particularly conspicuous. There are many parking spaces. As soon as you enter, you can tell that it feels like a state-owned restaurant. It is said that Cixi has eaten here. The fact that it has been able to support the business for so many years shows that this restaurant is also very hardworking, and the dishes must be acceptable. [Braised beef strips] The meat is tender and tasty, and the sauce is great. There are a lot of mushrooms at the bottom, which are soaked dried mushrooms. The taste is good but not as sour. [Vegetarian grilled mushrooms] It is still soaked dried mushrooms, and it is still chewy, fried with cucumbers and carrots. The taste of a state-owned restaurant, the taste is impeccable. [Pie] Delicious. [Sea buckthorn juice] The taste is suitable, not as sour as orange juice.
An authentic Islamic restaurant. I always have a meal here on my way back to Beijing. I like the beef and mutton pies and brown sugar cakes here. They are delicious and not expensive. The fresh and fragrant lamb trotters are more flavorful. The consumption here is not expensive either. 50 yuan is enough for one person to eat well. There is a parking space at the door, and there are many attractions around.
