Hangzhou / Qingzhiwu

Qingzhiwu, adjacent to Yuquan and Lingfeng, belongs to the Yuquan Community of Lingyin Subdistrict. Villages have existed here since the Jin Dynasty. Originally a residential area, the area became a hub for locals, but its proximity to the Huanglong Stadium, where countless concerts have taken place, and the Hangzhou Botanical Garden nearby, attracted crowds and burgeoned its culinary scene.

This time in Qingzhiwu, since I wasn't there for a proper meal, I opted for a few smaller dishes. The first was "Time and Story," a delicious dessert. It's truly wonderful to be able to eat mango in winter!

Because I was homesick, I went to a small Taiwanese food shop. The owner, who calls himself "Old Man," was incredibly naive. I couldn't believe Taiwanese braised pork rice could cost 34 RMB in Hangzhou. I was genuinely shocked, but I was still homesick, so I bought it anyway. The food was average; it was all about the memories.

I don't think you need to make a special trip here. Visit Zhejiang University's Yuquan Campus before visiting here, then enter through the South Gate and you'll find it on the way!
