Tarowan

Although Yunnan cuisine is the most famous food to be found in Cingjing, if you expect to stay here for more than two nights, you will probably appreciate changing things up with a different flavor altogether! Lucky for you, in addition to Yunnan cuisine, Tarowan, located above Bi Lake is another great choice. In particular, the urn chicken (甕缸雞) has an unforgettable taste absolutely not to be missed. As well as serving great food, the interior décor here is also worth your time. Indeed, hints at the coziness of the inside are obvious even from the outside. Before you have entered the restaurant, your eyes will be drawn to the door the chimney and smoking urns. Inside, the constantly smoldering firewood means that a light taste of wood smoke gradually seeps into the chicken hanging from steel, giving it a unique taste that other places cannot quite recreate. And sure enough, the dish on each table is undoubtedly the famous urn chicken. Wearing gloves, guests personally tear off pieces of chicken, before experiencing the subtle flavor that keeps them taking bites. Notably, half of the restaurant space here is situated outdoors. Although it can be a little hot during summer, overlooking the beautiful scenery below is well worth it. Or, if you feel chilly from the winter alpine temperatures, you might prefer ordering a casserole. Its rich soup and wholesome ingredients are guaranteed to bring you the warmth you crave. Tarowan is great in any season!
