Naxi home cooking at Zhongshun Restaurant by Zhongyi Market

Zhongyi Market, Lijiang

A plain canteen where residents eat Naxi home cooking. Order hong san duo (pork, tomato and red chili chopped together, great over rice), fried ribs, wok-fried yak and granny's potatoes, mashed and crisped in the pan. Go at lunch and combine it with a wander around the market.

What locals sayIt's where Lijiang people eat, and it tastes like someone's home kitchen rather than a tourist restaurant.
