Li Jiang Dayan and royal banquet

Dayan Feng Wei restaurant 大研风味菜馆。Love the crispy prawns, fried pork ribs with mint leaves and kang kong. The fish has too many bones for our liking. Love their local delicacies. Recommended by our driver cum guide in Lijiang. There is no menu so you just point to the ingredients and let them know how you want it to be cooked. Impressed with the local food from the Naxi ethnic group, main ethnic group in Lijiang, like the Bai in Dali.











Checked into Huayi Donglin 丽江花雨东林.









Took a Didi to Lijiang Ancient city flower lane.










Stopped at a cafe for coffee. Bought a meat pancake but feel that the ones at Dali is nicer.








Went to the the Lijiang royal banquet. Its basically hot pot. I like the quail egg, rolls. The beancurd desert is nice with the crunchy biscuits. However cannot associate it with royal.












The performance was not as good as the one at Zhang's Garden.only the Guzheng performance was good. The last part was absorb with dancing to modern dance with sunglass.
