Eating local food in destinations is one of tourists' favorite things. Mount Emei and the city of Emei in Sichuan province offer various food and service, including hot pot, beef, and BBQ.

This is one of the most popular dishes, made with cold chicken (breast or leg) shreds and topped with a spicy sauce. The cold chicken meat must be hit with a stick while cooking, which is how it gets its name! This dish is delicious and tender, and is offered by most restaurants in Leshan, attracting hundreds of thousands of diners.

Dongpo Ink Fish lives in Minjiang River at the foot of Leshan Giant Buddha. According to legend, the fish is dyed with the ink of the poet Su Dongpo (1037-1101), who studied in the Dongpo Reading Building at the Dafo Temple (Lingyun Temple). When cooked, the outer skin of the fish gets crisp and the meat becomes tender.
