The Baotou-Yinchuan High-Speed Railway has made it more convenient for people to enjoy the delicacies of Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region. Come and try them for yourself!
The city is known for its mutton, among which hand-grabbed mutton is a must-try. For your first bite, you can try the original flavor. Dip it in vinegar and pair it with garlic for your second and third bites. The meat is so tender that it easily detaches from the bone with just a gentle tug.
You can also try local hotpot in Huaiyuan Night Market, with a specially made hot pot base — thick and spicy, with a hint of sweetness.
What wakes up the people of Yinchuan is a bowl of piping hot mutton offal soup, which goes well with steamed bun. The lamb offal in Ningxia is processed clean and the soup is rich and greasy.
Localmalatang(spicy hotpot), handmade noodles and beef patty are also must-try foods.
