Cuisine of Zhangjiajie Tujia nationality proves the distinct feature of local folk custom as well as the essence of Hunan cuisine. “Hot” can best represent Hunan cuisine, and undoubtedly, Tujia cuisine. Except this flavor, the unique preserved ham and pickle also contribute to a good bite. Zhangjiajie specialty, to name but a few, Preserved Pork, Tuan nian Cai (Assorted Dishes),Tofu Porridge, Pickled Fish, Loach in Tofu, Stewed Black-Bone Chicken with Gastrodia elata.

Inside the scenic areas, having a meal would be more or less expensive: a dish with meat would cost 30+ RMB, with potherb 15+ RMB. But in the downtown area one can enjoy cheap meals—100 RMB in the open-air restaurants can satisfy four people in a group.

Tips:

1. In scenic areas you can eat sweet corn cob and wild kiwifruit (hardly seen in metropolis);

2. And in the local tearooms charcoal-baked pork is provided. Enjoy this unique dish.
