Spicy, Silky, Satisfying: The Magic of Chongqing’s Douhua Rice in China
If you travel to Chongqing, in addition to Hot Pot, douhua rice is definitely a classic delicacy that cannot be missed! This seemingly simple combination - tender douhua pudding + spicy dipping water + hot rice is one of the favorite daily delicacies of Chongqing people.
1. Why is Chongqing douhua rice worth trying?
Unique taste: Chongqing douhua pudding melts in the mouth, and the douhua soup is sweet and sweet.
Soul dipping water: Glutinous sea pepper dipping water is the essence, mixed with Sichuan pepper, sesame oil, chopped green onion, etc., spicy and delicious, making people appetite.
Historical background: Originated from Zigong salt dishes, because salt workers used bile water to order tofu and eat directly bibimbap, which later evolved into today's bean curd rice.
2. How to eat it enough?
Clip a piece of douhua pudding and place it on top of the rice.
Scoop a spoonful of dipping water and pour over the douhua pudding and mix well.
A mouthful of douhua pudding and a mouthful of rice, and then drink some douhua soup to relieve spicy!
3. Tips
Tihua Soup: The soft and glutinous pig's trotters and douhua rice are a perfect match.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.
