Food in YangshuoFor many years the food in Yangshuo The "primitive" days of pizzas made of pancakes are long gone. Nowadays you can get excellent pizzas, great brown bread and other western dishes. The Drifters Cafe and China Cafe have great apple crumble but what about the Chinese food to get? What are the typical Chinese dishes you can find? In this section of the Yangshuo Travel Guide we have collected a selection of dishes you can find in Yangshuo. Some of those dishes are very specific for Yangshuo and are hard to find anywhere else. So, where do we start? Some of the most basic and best food in Yangshuo can be found on the streets at any time of the day. It's cheap and the noodles are always handmade right in front of you. And to me, they never failed me. ![]() Food in Yangshuo: hand made noodles in Yangshuo There are three dishes very special when thinking about food in Yangshuo: beer-fish, stuffed snails with pork and kou rou. Let's see how we can make them. BeerfishYangshuo is located at the Li Jiang river and the Yu Long river. Therefore Yangshuo has quite a few fishermen living off river fish in town. Some of them use cormorants for fishing, others use nets and small boats. Thus there are plenty of fresh fish at the Yangshuo market available. Beerfish is a dish only available in Yangshuo. It's a surprisingly good combination, even for a non beer drinker as I am. Here's a recipe for two servings. Ingredients

There's much more food in Yangshuo. West Street has plenty of restaurants serving almost anything you can imagine. However, for special Chinese dishes, I would recommend Malcolm's China Cafe and William's Cloud 9. Here you can taste a little of the real China which is preserved in these two little cozy cafes. For a little more western style, try almost any of the other cafes. And remember, food in Yangshuo is more then toast, eggs, apple crumble and pizzas. Beijing Duck (Peking duck)Probably the most famous of all Chinese dishes, though not necessarily the best, Beijing duck (Peking duck) is certainly an excellent dish. One could say the dish is China's national dish. It's a dish which dates back several hundreds of years. In Yangshuo too, you can get some really good Beijing duck (Cloud 9 does a good one) Ducks are bred specially for the dish, which after 65 days are slaughtered and seasoned before it is roasted in a closed oven or a hung oven. The meat is often eaten with pancakes, spring onions and hoisin sauce. A variant of the dish known as crispy aromatic duck has been created by the Chinese community in the United Kingdom. The two most notable restaurants in Beijing which serve this delicacy are Quanjude and Bianyifang, two centuries old establishments which have become household names. But how to make it at home?
