Right around the Drum Tower is a snack area, down a ramp into a giant tin roofed room filled with tables and ringed with food stalls. While I'm sure many restaraunts in town serve the local speciality it was so brilliant in this bizarre structure I just had to give them a plug. I never knew the name of the dish, just had someone describe it to me. The mien looks a bit like small italian shell pasta.

In common with many Chinese towns that attract a few tourists, Zhangye has built a Food Street, using traditional wooden architecture that is attractive but completely out of character for this part of China.

I've eaten at a few of the restaurants - all pretty standard fare and good value.

Perhaps it was that time in the trip, perhaps the city itself, but I adored Zhangye. Even though I'm the idiot who followed guide book directions and tried to walk into town, only to realize once I......
