Cultural Tips
Ancestral cuisine integrates the cooking traditions of the Dai, Yi and other ethnic minorities, and makes full use of Yunnan's unique medicinal materials and fungi. Cross-bridge rice noodles, steam pot chicken, and steamed vegetables are all classic examples of delayed vegetables. Yunnan flower cake is well-known in Yunnan. It is a must-have dish for festivals and family gatherings, and is also the epitome of Zucai food culture.
