Find a dish you would like to try
For dinner, look for a rice bowl such as lu rou fan or a noodle soup before adding snacks. A hujiao bing (pepper bun) is a filling savory option; compare its meat filling and pepper level before ordering. For something lighter afterward, consider aiyu jelly. Use the dish cards below to recognize these options, then choose from the menus you find on your route.
