When it comes to grottoes, I believe that many people will think of the grottoes such as Dunhuang, Yungang, and Longmen that they learned in the history textbooks when they were students, and perhaps most people just heard about it but did not really go to visit and see it. However, why travel far away to visit the grottoes, just in the territory of Chongqing there is a thousand-year-old grotto, it is a world cultural heritage and one of the world's eight major grottoes, and Dunhuang, Yungang, Longmen and other grottoes are equally famous, it is Chongqing Dazu rock carvings.
In addition to the Dazu stone carvings of the millennium grottoes, there are countless folk delicacies, and it is said that eating food in Chongqing must run to the districts and counties, because each district and county hides a variety of treasures and delicacies.

In order not to leave regrets, Xiaobian naturally will not let go of this to the mouth of the food, a group of people walking the streets and alleys quickly found this Ding Jia Po Wang Shuhua potato founded in 1989, when the store there are many locals packing potatoes to take home to eat.
Although the weather is relatively hot, but did not delay the determination to eat food at all, ah, without saying a word, quickly called the boss to give the potato. At present, the three main categories sold in the store are bean skin, potato chips, potato lumps, Xiaobian came from afar to definitely order the same one to taste, eat it is indeed different from other potatoes, potato chips are very crisp, potato lumps are very soft, bean skins are also very good to eat.
According to the boss, this is a snack made of simple potatoes, which must be made through more than 10 processes, and I have to say that it is indeed worthy of the name of being able to select the top ten famous snacks of Dazu.

The reason why Quan Ji Ye Er Cang can become a famous snack in Dazu is mainly because the boss lady is purely handmade, and then when making Ye Er Tang, it is steamed with galangal leaves and other wrapped, so that it has the characteristics of light green color, skin noodles, salty and sweet, and fragrant and delicious.
After eating Ye Erzhuang boss lady and gave us a pure handmade five-colored ice powder, the ice powder we have eaten before is white, the five-color ice powder is still the first time to taste, the reason why there are five colors, introduced by the boss is because it is developed with five different ingredients.

The fifth stop: eat Dazu postal pavilion crucian carp, the first choice is the postal pavilion Liu Sanjie crucian carp
Eating crucian carp in Chongqing, I believe that all Chongqing people will tell you to eat Dazu Yuting crucian carp, and the first choice for eating Dazu Yuting crucian carp is Liu Sanjie crucian carp in The Postal Pavilion. Therefore, Xiaobian went to Dazu, and he will definitely not let go of the food that everyone has passed on by word of mouth.
Post Pavilion Liu Sanjie crucian carp was founded in the 90s, has a history of thirty years, the reason why it is called Liu Sanjie crucian carp, it is because the boss ranks the third in the family, so it is called Liu Sanjie crucian carp. Liu Sanjie crucian carp can open a shop for thirty years to prosper, which relies on real materials, honest management, first-class taste, so that countless diners eat again and again.
The reason why Liu Sanjie crucian carp is so delicious is because it is selected to be the native crucian carp that has been farmed in its own fish pond for more than 4 years, and the earth crucian carp has been slowly cooked with a variety of condiments, and in addition to the secret fat intestine, a pot of fragrant Liu Sanjie crucian carp will start cooking. Crucian carp is very flavorful and tender, and the fat intestines are endlessly aftertaste. Finally, crucian carp is tender and has a lot of spines, so you must be careful when eating crucian carp.

When I arrived at the park, it was late afternoon, and many surrounding residents with their families and children were happily playing in the park, and there were various children's play facilities on each hill in the park, and when they played on the weekend, they still needed to queue up to play.
When night falls, the music of the square officially sounds, the fountain dances with the music, and the residents who play in the park begin to slowly gather to the musical fountain to enjoy the large cityscape. When Xiaobian saw this scene, he wanted to say from the bottom of his heart that Dazu people are really happy.
