Zhangjiakou is a city in the north of Hebei Province. The food here is very rich, and there are many special snacks and restaurants. Here are three delicious places I recommend:
The first one is "Li Ji Mutton Soup", which is a well-known brand with a long history. The mutton in the shop is delicious and the soup base is unique, which is very popular with customers. Besides, there are other kinds of mutton snacks in Li Ji mutton soup, such as cold mutton offal and braised lamb chops, which are affordable and worth a try.
The second one is "Baotou Crispy Meat", which is a bar with very special snacks. It mainly sells something called "Baotou Crispy Meat", which is a glutinous rice bag wrapped with sweet pork stuffing. Its skin is crisp, its inside is soft and waxy, and it tastes very delicious. It is one of the special snacks in Zhangjiakou.
The third is "Gaotuanzi", a pastry shop. There are many kinds of cakes in the shop, including purple rice cakes, honey jujube cakes, sesame candy, and other snacks such as fruits and porridge. Pastry is very delicate and delicious, and it is the favorite place of many locals and tourists.
These are three delicious places in Zhangjiakou that I personally recommend. I hope you can also taste these special foods when you have the opportunity to travel to Zhangjiakou.
