So if you travel to Sichuan, where should you go to eat delicious food? Many people may naturally say, of course it is Chengdu. As the provincial capital, Chengdu does contain delicacies from all regions of Sichuan, and is also known as the World Food Capital. However, in fact, compared to Sichuan as a whole, Chengdu's delicacies can only be ranked last.

Chengdu covers the entire Sichuan delicacies, but these delicacies have been transformed to suit the tastes of local people. It may taste unauthentic to locals, but it tastes pretty much the same to tourists. If you travel to Chengdu, you can try maocai, couple's lung slices, egg baked cakes, fat rice rolls...
Although many places say that their egg baked cakes are the most authentic, But in fact, the first egg cake was made by an old man next to Shishi Academy on Wenmiao Street in Chengdu. So egg baked cake is an authentic Chengdu delicacy.

Ranking of Sichuan Food Cities
Speaking of Chengdu, many people will think of its Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli, Wuhou Temple and other scenic spots. Of course, Chengdu also has delicious snacks. However, the most popular snacks in Sichuan are not in Chengdu, but in other cities. Some people might guess it is Mianyang. After all, it has cold brew that is sought after by young people. Like hot pot, easier to eat than hot pot. Mianyang cuisine also includes Sichuan braised meatballs, crispy rice noodles, Mianyang rice noodles, jelly, etc., which are all mouth-watering. But unfortunately, Mianyang is not as good as this city. This city is Leshan, and I believe everyone is familiar with Leshan. The Leshan Giant Buddha here is famous throughout the country and is crowded with tourists every holiday.
Maybe the Leshan Giant Buddha is too famous. Every time I mention Leshan, I think of it first, but ignore its delicious food.
Sichuan City of Food
The question asks which city in Sichuan can be called the "City of Food"? Everyone must have their own answer. If we discuss them here, I'm afraid there will be blood. But according to my personal experience of living in Sichuan for several years, Chengdu, Zigong, Nanchong, and Yibin are all unique, and Leshan is the most impressive. As the saying goes, “Eat in Sichuan, eat in Leshan”, it’s really not a false name. Only by visiting Leshan can you understand what a foodie paradise is.
Leshan cuisine is suitable for both the north and the south
Leshan has a wide range of cuisines, including Bushi chicken, sweet-skinned duck, Chuanxiang, beef trotters, nine-foot duck intestines, spicy rabbit head, and Xiba stone fu After they brought together the essence of Shanghebang, Xiahebang and Yanbang cuisine, they not only lost the spicy and spicy characteristics of Sichuan cuisine, but also introduced new ones, gradually becoming their own system. Some are "intangible cultural heritage" brands, while others have local characteristics. It can be said that Leshan’s food is suitable for both north and south, and its status in the hearts of Sichuan people has always been unshakable.
Leshan’s food districts are all over the city
Leshan’s food districts are all over the city. The famous boat restaurants include Zhang Gongqiao, Jiajia Changjuan, Jiaxing Road, Chafang Street, and Zhijiang Road Wang Hao's second-class products are cheap, frugal, and casual, and are definitely suitable for mass consumption. In midsummer, every household in these food streets is packed with people at night. Meeting family or friends, ordering some delicious food, drinking a few cold beers, chatting, chatting and strengthening friendships are not gluttonous, but they are also very pleasant.
