What to Eat

Huangshan sesame pastry 黄山烧饼

梅干菜和肉馅最经典,个头小,适合路上带几个。

Stinky mandarin fish 臭鳜鱼

闻着有发酵味,吃起来咸鲜,是徽菜代表菜。

Hairy tofu 毛豆腐

煎到外焦里嫩,蘸辣酱或调料吃,别被名字吓住。

Huizhou one-pot stew 徽州一品锅

笋、肉、蛋饺、豆制品一锅端,适合多人正餐。

Wenzheng bamboo shoots 问政山笋

春季最值得吃,笋香清鲜,别点太重口的做法。

Stone ear chicken soup 石耳炖鸡

山里菌耳类食材,汤味清,适合爬山后恢复。

Dao ban xiang pork 刀板香

咸肉香气足,通常切片上桌,配米饭很下饭。

Braised pork with dried bamboo shoots 笋干烧肉

徽州家常味,笋干吸肉汁,适合不想冒险时点。

Kudzu starch balls 葛粉圆子

口感软糯,常做成甜口或咸口小吃。

Huangshan double-stone soup 黄山双石

通常指石耳、石鸡等山珍组合,价格和做法要先问清。

Tunxi drunken crab 屯溪醉蟹

偏咸鲜酒香,适合能接受腌制水产的人。

Huizhou wontons 徽州馄饨

轻便早餐或夜宵,爬山前吃比重油大菜更合适。

If sunrise or sunset matters, yes. If budget is tight, stay near the mountain entrance and focus on a long day route.

Is Huangshan only about the mountain?

No. Hongcun, Xidi, Tunxi Old Street, and Huizhou food make the area worth extra time beyond the mountain itself.

What should I eat in Huangshan?

Start with Huangshan sesame pastries, then try hairy tofu, stinky mandarin fish, one-pot stew, and bamboo shoot dishes.
