Rongchang: Why is this small town, filled with the aroma of marinated food, so popular?

.
Is it the intangible cultural heritage soul sealed in pottery for 2,000 years?
Is it the Chinese grass breathing in the warp and weft of Xia cloth looms?
Is it the old times seeping from the bluestone seams of Wanling Ancient Town?
.
But in the end—
It's just a pot of marinated goose that satisfies the world's homesickness ❤️
.
"Whatever influencer or not, everyone who comes here is a goose-sucking person!"

🔴 Food
.
To buy marinated goose, many stores in the city center have long lines. Walk towards the residential area, and there are branches and other brands that don't require queuing~ I bought from several well-known stores, and they all tasted pretty good. You can't go wrong buying from the list provided by the Culture and Tourism Bureau!
.
I live on Renmin Road, and within a kilometer, there are Mo's, Liu Ji's, Cai Ba Wa's, Xiao Luo's, Huang Yongji's...
.
Besides marinated goose, I personally prefer cold jelly and cold noodles. Generally, stores have five varieties: ✔️Yellow Jelly ✔️Xuanzi Jelly ✔️Sweet Potato Jelly ✔️Cold Noodles ✔️Liangpi. The red oil is especially fragrant, and it's my favorite sweet and sour spicy flavor. They add a lot of sugar, so friends who don't like sweet flavors should mention it in advance. I've eaten at Pang Jie's, Chen Sanjie's, and Qiu Sanjie's, and they're all good!

⚠️ Tips
.
During the May Day holiday, parking may be a bit difficult if you're driving. It's recommended to walk around after you arrive. Most of the stores recommended by local friends are concentrated in one area~
