There is an old saying that has been popular among the local people in Chenzhou for thousands of years: “Even if you walk away from home for thousands of miles, you still cannot forget the flavor of Qifengdu.”

Qifengdu refers to Qifengdu fish rice noodles, a local dish listed as intangible cultural heritage.

The essential ingredients in cooking this dish are fish, tea oil, ginger, garlic and pepper. It tastes spicy and fresh with tender fish slices, which is rather appetizing.
