Fairly cheap but delicious local food from northwest Yunnan. Obviously, from the name you can tell the ham and chicken soup is the star of the show. Decent atmosphere as well, right near Lijiang Old Town.

It's not easy to find the place because the door is very narrow and the blue and white paint looks like a fashion shop. It has 5-6 tables, very clean. Every dish is spicy, you can choose the level. Beef barbecue you should never miss, tender and delicious.

It's quite a nice place to stay near Lijiang Old Town. Compared to many of the places inside old town, this hotel is quiet at night and the rooms are very clean. A pretty regular place without all of the faux Naxi stuff you find everywhere else. The high-point was actually the restaurant, and I strongly recommend the chili pepper chicken.

Consistently good food and interesting specials here. Great, friendly staff and an excellent selection of wines. The party atmosphere after dinnertime is good too.

The Xiaolongbao is really good. I like the Huntun a lot. The filling is pork mixed with many different vegetables. Soup is quite nice too. They have to steam the Xiaolongbao after you order, so takes 15-20 minutes to wait for your dishes.
