Baisha lunch: Dongba ribs and yak on a sizzling iron plate

Baisha village, Lijiang

Make lunch part of the Baisha day. Look for Dongba ribs (braised pork ribs), yak meat on a hot iron plate, snow mountain fish with chopped chili and Naxi fried rice. The village is quieter than the old town, so meals are unhurried.

What locals sayEating in Baisha feels calmer and more local than anything in the old town, and the rib dish is the one to order.
