Xiao Shi Hou Xiang

In the northern part of town, along a scenic stretch of the Zijiang River, is this modern restaurant with booth seating, tasteful traditional decor and spicy Hunan cuisine. Most are here for the heaped plates of red crayfish, which you go at with your hands using the plastic gloves provided. To order, peruse the food displays at the kitchen.

Take a wooden price marker for each dish you select, which the waitress will collect to calculate your bill.
