🍥 About food: Recommended [Shan Huanyuan]
Original mountain-style hotpot, worth multiple visits
Best soup base combo: wild fruit sour soup + Leshan red soup
Sour soup is refreshing and cuts grease, red soup is spicy and flavorful, you’ll love it at first bite! Beef is a must-order signature dish, just a few seconds in the pot and it’s tender enough to make your tongue tremble. Oil olive mountain fruit tea and guava sparkling water help relieve spiciness and greasiness, perfect with hotpot!
🥤 Drink recommendation: Shuxia 🥤 I drank it every day during the trip, pure fruit and vegetable juice, fresh and healthy.
