This is the restaurant in the hotel we stayed in ZhongDian. Price is little bit higher than those road side restaurants, but except from the ordinary Yunnan style food, they do have some nice creative dishes.
Favorite Dish: As you can see, we 2 were actually very hungry.. (?!) 5 dishes for 2... (*_*)
anyway.. the dish in front of me, deep fried potato slices with salty egg yolk was really very good! And the fried pork ribs was good too.. my friend, who normally doesn't eat pork, had 2 pieces too~~

It seems that most of the local noodle shops tend to close early. The more touristy resturants stay open later though.
There is good Cantonese at the Pacific Rim.

Q: seems to be a must place to see and go. so how do we get here? from zhongdian or deqing?

A: Definitely from Zhongdian. I think there're 2 or 3 buses daily. If you come from Deqin you'll still need to change buses at Zhongdian.
