This pedestrianised market has dozens of snack stalls and small restaurants, many selling local specialities and Chinese standards, hand-pulled noodles (拉面, lāmiàn), ròujiāmó, claypot, Sichuan food and dried fruits and vegetables. This is also a good place to try the local speciality cuōyúmiàn (搓鱼面, twisted fish noodles, containing no fish but resembling fish).
