LIANG HUAI YI JUE JI SI LA TANG

Chicken shreds and spicy soup is a famous snack shop in Huai'an. Although it is a small roadside shop, it is very famous and I went there because of its reputation. The main food here is snacks, of course, chicken shreds and spicy soup is a must-order. The taste is actually quite ordinary, but it can be regarded as an experience of Huai'an's characteristics.

Before coming to Huai'an, I thought it was a "foodie desert," but I was completely slapped in the face! I gained three pounds in three days and still didn't want to leave. Save this proven guide to avoid disappointment! 👇 📍Enjoy the experience without any detours ▫️Journey to the West: A fairytale world for adults! The weightlessness of the roller coaster is incredibly exhilarating, and the evening fireworks show paired with the "Master and Apprentice" parade makes for incredible photos! 🎢 I recommend heading straight for the "Havoc in Heaven" attraction—it's worth the line! ▫️Hexia Ancient Town: Free to visit! The bluestone pavement is so charming. Don't buy from the internet-famous shops; the old corner stalls are so crispy they're practically falling apart. 🥨 Wu Cheng'en's former residence is right inside, and taking photos under banana leaves, just like in Journey to the West, is super fun. 🐒 ▫️ Night view of the Li Canal: Rent a bike and ride along the lake in the evening. The lanterns light up and you're instantly transported. It's even less crowded and more peaceful than the Qinhuai River. 🏮 🍜 A must-try for foodies 1. Wenlou Crab Roe Soup Dumplings: Poke open with a straw and drink the soup first! So delicious, but be careful, as locals order by the basket. 🤤 2. Soft-shelled Eel: A top Huaiyang dish! The eel is so tender and flavorful, I could eat two huge bowls with rice. 🍚 3. Lianghuai Specialty Spicy Shredded Chicken Soup: A must-try for breakfast! Add a scallion pancake, and it's so delicious the uncle at the next table asked for the link. 4. Puyuan Tangshui: A perfect after-meal sluggish treat, the ingredients are so rich they make your spoon sink! ✨ 💡Tips for Avoiding Pitfalls - Stay near Hexia Ancient Town for convenient dining and shopping. - The Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall is free but reservations are required. It's a solemn and impressive place worth visiting. - Don't trust the restaurants touting at the train station; stick to the long-established establishments where locals line up. Huai'an is one of those understated, hidden gems. Enjoy the fun and eat the delicious food. 800 yuan per person is enough for three days of fun! Call your friends! 🚗 #Huai'anHowTo #Huai'anTravel
