Suji Ancient Town
苏稽古镇
A thousand-year-old riverside town west of Leshan, birthplace of qiaojiao beef hotpot, with old streets along the Emei River and rice-puffed candy workshops worth a stop.
Suji Ancient Town sits on the Emei River on the west side of Leshan's central district, about 15 km from downtown. It is the birthplace of qiaojiao beef hotpot, and many old-established beef broth restaurants still operate here. The town is also famous for Suji puffed rice candy. The old town features a new bridge, historic streets and a riverside promenade along the Emei River. After a recent renovation, it added night views and a snack street. It lies between Leshan and Mount Emei, so you can stop for a meal on the way from Mount Emei to the Leshan Giant Buddha.
