Liugou Village
柳沟村
A folk village inside an old Ming-dynasty border fortress, famous for its 'Fire Basin Pot and Tofu Feast.' It's Yanqing's best-known food village.
Liugou Village is in Jingzhuang Town. It was originally Liugou Fortress, where Ming-dynasty troops were stationed, and remnants of its walls and corner towers can still be seen today. Almost every farmhouse in the village serves the 'Fire Basin Pot and Tofu Feast': tofu, cabbage, and meat stewed in a charcoal-heated copper pot, served with various tofu dishes and corn flatbreads. It is especially warming to eat in winter. The village is about 15 km from Yanqing urban district and is a good stop after Qinglong Gorge or Expo Park. Book ahead on public holidays.
