A breakfast guide from a small county town in Yongzhou, Hunan

Ningyuan, located in Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, is a relatively remote small county town. Due to this reason, Ningyuan has not been extensively developed for tourism. The local people are simple and the cuisine is relatively "local". They don't cater to tourists' preferences. Therefore, here you can taste the most authentic Ningyuan cuisine in Yongzhou, without any "improvements" or "flattery".

Tongda Restaurant

Tongda restaurant, a popular local breakfast restaurant, please look for the facade above, and parking is available at the door. The owner has been a chef for 20 years, previously working as a head chef in a large restaurant before starting his own business. To ensure the quality of the dishes, the owner gets up at 3-4 o'clock every day to simmer the soup, using 15 kilograms of pig bones as the base. The restaurant opens at 6 o'clock sharp to welcome customers, and other ingredients are delivered at 6 o'clock in the morning to ensure they are the freshest. The taste of Tongda's noodles is truly unique, with a daily supply of 300 bowls, available until sold out.
