    While in Leshan or anywhere in Sichuan, you must try the special type of duck called Camphor-smoked duck. The taste is unique, unlike anything other types of roast duck but apparently, as it takes a long time to make, you might have to enquire about it to see which place/restaurant still offers this. Then comment on it as you have tried so many types of ducks. Good luck in finding a place with this speciality.

It's a murder mystery with a bit of kung fu(not the flashy kind today,) and that "face change" trick, a kind of stage act that still exists today, but very few people know how to do it. Very decent movie, good story telling.

    Amy’s video only good to watch after the meal, makes me so hungry every time I watch them before the dinner. Thanks

    I like when you dip the shaomai into the tofu brain! So mouthwatering even if I just finish my dinner!

    Omg… boboji, they are the best in Leshan. The vegetables are so crunchy and flavourful. Love them!!! I think they are going to reuse the pot btw.

    8年前去过乐山大佛,可惜没有品尝到视频里的美食。谢谢妳的视频,来自大马。一辈子也尝不完的中国美食。
