Taste of Lijiang: Local cuisine

When it comes to Lijiang's local cuisine, fish has to be mentioned. The running water in Lijiang's old town is full of minerals. The natural environment makes the local fish bigger and tastier.

For fish lovers, only good cooking skill and fresh ingredients can keep a fish's original taste. Roast fish from Lijiang will definitely make fish lovers excited. They are crispy on the outside, and the inside is tender and juicy. This cooking style keeps the original flavor of the fish.

For those who don't like to remove fish bones, roast fish is also a good choice since some of the fish bones will be removed before roasting.
