How to Visit
1

Go for dinner or late snacks

The street is most useful after a day at the Giant Buddha or Mount Emei, when you want several Leshan snacks in one compact area.

Tip:It is busier and more tourist-facing than local neighborhood streets.
2

Pick a short food list

Prioritize sweet-skin duck, bobo chicken, fried skewers, tofu pudding, ice jelly, and local sweets instead of trying every famous shop.

Tip:Queues can waste more time than the food is worth.
3

Use taxi or walking routes

Parking is difficult at night, so arrive by taxi, bus, or on foot from a nearby hotel if possible.

Tip:Jiaxing Road is a useful alternative if you want a more local food street.
