You must come and check in! It is really spicy and delicious. Be prepared with yogurt.

🌶️Nanchang｜An Underrated Spicy Paradise: Slurping Rice Noodles, Eating Crab, and Drinking Clay Pot Soup is the Real Deal 🍜Must-Slurp Carb Bombs ▪️Beef Fried Rice Noodles: Look for the old stalls in the alleys! Stir-fried in a cast iron wok over high heat, each noodle is distinct and coated in sauce, the beef chunks are fragrant with wok hei (wok aroma), add two spoonfuls of local millet chili, and you won't be able to stop even if you're screaming from the spiciness (recommended: "Ying Sao Snacks" in Ximazhuang, there's still a queue at 2 AM) ▪️Clay Pot Soup: Must be paired with white sugar cake! The minced meat in the meatball soup is as tender as a cloud, a sprinkle of white pepper warms you up, the white sugar cake is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, dipping it in the soup is a hidden way to eat it, the sweet and spicy combination is amazing! ▪️Crab Leg Rice Noodles: The soul of the dish! Crab legs chopped and boiled until tender, the thick broth clinging to the vermicelli, a slurp of which, spicy enough to make you want to drink iced rice wine, the stalls at Qiushui Square Night Market are the most vibrant and down-to-earth. 📸Photogenic Secrets ▪️ Visit Tengwang Pavilion in the evening! As the sunset gilds the eaves, stand on the viewing platform where "the sunset glows and wild geese fly together," take a panoramic photo with your phone in landscape mode, capturing the sunset, river view, and ancient building all in one frame, and caption it directly from "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion." ▪️ Wear a simple long dress at the August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall! The red walls and white windows of the Republican-era architecture are incredibly photogenic. Stand in front of the "Firing the First Shot" sculpture, capture the moment you turn around, and the historical feel is off the charts. ▪️ 699 Cultural and Creative Park hides artistic corners! Graffiti walls converted from abandoned factories, red brick buildings covered in ivy, sit in a white shirt next to a rusty iron frame, and pretend you're taking a movie poster photo. 💡Local Hides • For milk tea, stick to the "old three items"! Osmanthus-flavored jelly with milk, sweet but not cloying, a perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes to cool down the heat. • Don't buy a ticket to visit the Shengjin Pagoda! The surrounding antique-style street is lit up with lanterns at night, creating an atmosphere similar to the Tengwang Pavilion, and you can also enjoy a variety of fried snacks. • Take the bus across the Nanchang Bridge! In the evening, watch the sunset turn the Gan River orange, and feel the aroma of fried noodles wafting in through the bus window – much more cost-effective than taking a cruise. #NanchangExplore #NanchangFood #NanchangVisit #NanchangTravel #NanchangTravelGuide
