A hand-grabbed rice feast in Liuku, with lacquer-oil chicken

Liuku, Nujiang

The canyon's welcome meal: rice, meats and vegetables piled across the table on leaves and eaten by hand, often with lacquer-oil chicken, cooked in oil from lacquer-tree seeds, on the side. Eat it in Liuku on your first day, before the villages, where choice is limited.

What locals saySitting around one big spread and eating with your hands is the most fun meal of the whole canyon trip.
