Suoxi Shanzhai - Xiangxi Food Culture Museum (Biaozhimen Branch)
索溪山寨·湘西饮食文化博物馆
A Tujia restaurant next to the Wulingyuan Biaozhimen Gate that doubles as a Xiangxi food culture exhibition, where the signature stewed chicken with rock ear fungus is ordered by almost every table.
Located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Jundi Road and Tuofeng Road in Wulingyuan District, sharing the same site as the Suoxi Shanju Hotel. It is about 800 meters from the Wulingyuan Bus Terminal and can be reached by taking Wulingyuan Bus Route 1 to the Biaozhimen Station. The restaurant is designed like a mini food museum, introducing the culinary culture and folk customs of western Hunan (Xiangxi). The signature dish is the stewed chicken with rock ear fungus, while the cured pork and the hanging pot rice with cured meats are also highly popular. The flavors have been adapted to be less salty and spicy than traditional local food, making it very tourist-friendly. Average cost is around 75-85 RMB. Parking spaces and large tables are available, making it convenient for group dining.
