Food Guide

No visit to Wuhan is complete without eating a bowl of hot dry noodles. Hot dry noodles are Wuhan’s business card. Unlike soup noodles and other mixed noodles, they must be cooked first. Then mix it with oil and spread it to dry, then blanch it in boiling water when eating, add various seasonings such as sesame sauce and pickled beans and other side dishes, it is a beauty~, the most famous one is undoubtedly "Cai Lin Ji", but for old Wuhan It is said that the small shops in the streets are the most delicious~

Wuhan duck neck is one of the best in the country. Although there are shops all over the country, I still feel that the braised meat in Wuhan tastes more delicious and authentic. Every time I go to Wuhan, I will buy some more to eat on the way back. It is spicy and fragrant, and it is really delicious. It is very pleasant to pair it with a bottle of beer and look at the scenery along the way~
