A taste of Lijiang

Xuejing Ge, Jinmao Purelux Snow Mountain Resort

丽江金茂璞修雪山酒店·雪景阁餐厅

The top-ranked restaurant on Ctrip's Lijiang list and the city's upper end: a resort dining room out towards Yulong, serving refined versions of Yunnan dishes with the snow mountain in the window. The one place in Lijiang where you can expect proper service, a wine list and no haggling over fish weight.

The house favourites

What to order

Point at the Chinese. Staff will understand it even where the menu has no English at all.

  • Matsutake and local wild mushroom dishes (松茸与野生菌)
  • Refined cured pork ribs (精致腊排骨)
  • Yunnan black pork (滇式黑猪肉)

What it actually tastes like

Deliberately moderated for a mixed clientele. Little here will ambush a cautious eater.

Allergens in this kitchen

This is the kitchen, not one dish. Woks, fryers, blanching water and utensils are shared in almost every Chinese restaurant, so for a serious allergy treat the whole premises as the unit rather than ordering around it.
