Ditch the polished canteens of the high-end international resorts and follow the dense crowd of local food lovers into the aromatic lanes of the Lijiang Zhongyi Food Street. Packed with multi-generational family-run brick canteens operating out of cozy storefronts, this avenue is the premier spot to sample authentic, slow-simmered minority hot pots cooked inside traditional copper vessels.
