Red River cuisine that only locals know about
Mengzi City
Eighteen strange people in Yunnan, everyone loves rice noodles across the bridge. Originated in Mengzi, Yunnan, the cross-bridge rice noodles have a unique way of eating, with piping hot broth freshly cooked rice noodles and side dishes, the taste is incomparably delicious. In 2014, Mengzi cross-bridge rice noodle making skills were included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection projects.
As we all know, Mengzi is the hometown of rice noodles across the bridge, but the place where rice noodles are in Mengzi is the ancient town of Juntun "Xin'ansuo" that was built 500 years ago, and the locals know that "there is Xin'an first, and then there is Mengzi City". The best rice noodles in Mengzi City, Mengzi Chrysanthemum Bridge Rice Noodles, come from Xin'an. Since the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, immigrants from southern Yunnan have not only brought advanced production technology from the mainland, but also different food customs from different places. In Xin'an, Han immigrants took advantage of the time, location, and people to create the staple food of "Mengzi Bridge Rice Noodles", which is a daily and immigrant characteristic.
In addition to chrysanthemum rice noodles, there are many delicacies in Xin'an, such as tamales, ice porridge, old popsicle papaya water, dipped water rolls, and roasted tofu...... I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all.
You read that right, although the weather is hot, I still recommend you to try the pork knuckle hot pot with crispy sour soup with Ming Vulture. After the whole pig's feet are marinated, they are fried in an oil pot until the skin is golden and crispy, and then put into a large pot to stew. The soul of the sour soup pig's feet is the sour soup, and this sour comes from the pickled cabbage in different stores, the sauerkraut is a secret system, and the recipe is unknown, but the soup is really too sour to drink, sour and delicious, and you can't stop bowl after bowl!
Old City
Small meat skewers, small rolls, sour pulp baba, hand-shaking poop...... An old railway station food street, still a familiar taste of the old people. The winter melon back cake of the Gali Cake House, the big steamed buns of Liangyou Hotel, the spicy rice noodles, and the dumplings of Xidu Hotel are all delicacies that diners never get tired of.
A 20-minute drive from the old town, there is a treasure village where you can soak in hot springs and eat grilled fish. In addition to grilled fish, every time I go, I must order baogu baba and fried meat. There is no need for any "whitewashing", just with the help of hot oil and its own viscosity, it can become the "ceiling" of the Baba world. When you bite into the fried meat, the oil juice overflows from the corners of your mouth, the skin is glutinous and fragrant, the inside is tender, and the pleasure hits the soul.
Kaiyuan City
Speaking of Kaiyuan's snacks, it's hard not to mention Kaiyuan's special purse potatoes. Freshly poached potatoes are golden in color and full in shape, making people feel appetizing. One bite, accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, the crispy outside and tender taste on the inside will conquer your taste buds in an instant~
There are too many delicacies in Kaiyuan, so the editor can only be simple and rude, and directly name them!

Nanzhuang Farmers' Market "Three Dishes"
A 30-minute drive from Jianshui County, there is a small town called Qujiang, where diners are looking for one delicacy – Qujiang roast duck. As one of the traditional delicacies of Jianshui, it has a history of more than 100 years. On June 18, 2021, the roast duck roasting technique of Jianshui Qujiang was selected into the sixth batch of intangible cultural heritage protection list of Honghe Prefecture. Although the name of Qujiang roast duck is not as loud as Beijing roast duck, the taste is not a penny, and diners from the south to the north are all lingering for it.
Shiping County
Speaking of Shiping, I have to mention Shiping tofu. The history of Shiping tofu production technology can be traced back to more than 600 years ago, Shiping tofu does not use gypsum and brine, and is directly made of natural underground well water in the ancient city of Shiping, which is tender, delicious and nutritious. What's even more wonderful is that the well water of the ancient city of Shiping cannot leave Shiping, otherwise it will not be able to be ordered into tofu, so it is also called "the patent that cannot be taken away".
In Shek Ping, the most popular thing is the freshly grilled roasted tofu on the charcoal stall, in addition to the casserole fish, eight-sided fried fish, all kinds of barbecue (pork belly, grilled tilapia, beef skewers, chicken foot tendons, beef tendons, roasted pork skin, large intestines, powder sausages, harvest melon, artichoke, glutinous rice sausage...... It is also worth exploring one by one.

One side of the water and soil, one side of the scenery. In Yuanyang County, Honghe Prefecture, "eating" is also a kind of enjoyment, and the flavor memories make people fall in love with Yuanyang.
When Hani's dipped chicken was put on the table, many visitors asked, "Do you eat dipping water or chicken?" Indeed, Hani dipping water chicken, dipping water is not only a seasoning, but also a hearty "feast".
There is a saying in Yunnan that "grasshoppers are also meat", which is a metaphor for the value of something even though it is small. Therefore, grasshoppers, bamboo insects, and bee pupae have long been on the dining table of the people of Yuanyang. The terraces are a good place to raise fish, because the water is flowing and clear, and under such conditions, the fish raised are fat, crispy and sweet. Hani people are also good at marinating bacon, and the smoked bacon has a unique flavor, which is a delicacy that has attracted much attention at the famous Hani long street banquet.

Among them, there are 300 daily livestock meats, 220 poultry eggs, 193 natural animals, 200 natural plants, 46 daily snacks, 28 rice, wine and beverages, and 16 special and unique categories.
