Amayi Naxi Snacks

Lijiang


The name doesn’t do justice to the very authentic selection of Naxi cuisine on offer at this calm courtyard restaurant. There are fantastic mushroom dishes (when in season), as well as zhútǒng fàn (rice packed in bamboo). It’s down an alley off Wuyi Jie, east of the Stone Bridge.
