Yin Xiang Ni Yan (Xibujie Branch)
印象鲵宴
A large four-story pavilion restaurant at the entrance of Xibu Street, featuring farmed giant salamander dishes, Tujia cuisine, and folk performances.
Located at Baofeng Bridge, at the entrance of Xibu Street in Wulingyuan District, this is a four-story Chinese-style pavilion featuring a sky garden restaurant, banquet halls, and private rooms. Reviews mention that it hosts folk performances. The specialty here is giant salamander dishes, such as spicy giant salamander and triple-boiled giant salamander. NetEase articles note that the giant salamanders in local restaurants are farmed, though no proof of origin was seen at this establishment. Alternatively, you can stick to classic Tujia dishes like rock ear chicken, Tujia Sanxiaguo, and Western Hunan Dagupi. The average cost is about 85 RMB per person, but a whole giant salamander is expensive, with older menus pricing it at several hundred RMB per portion. Reservations are recommended during peak season, and taste reviews are mixed.
