李广记杏皮茶

🍭🍭I accidentally saw Li Guangji Apricot Peel Tea at the Shazhou Night Market in Dunhuang. I saw a lot of people queuing up, so I went to join in the fun. The line to pay was quite fast. It took about 5 minutes to get the line, and I waited about 20 minutes to get the tea. 🍭🍭Their apricot peel tea mainly has three flavors: original, white peach oolong, and peach blossom overflow. I feel that white peach oolong and apricot peel tea are also quite a match, but I still tried the original flavor for the first time. 🍭🍭The taste of apricot peel tea is a bit like black plum juice, but it tastes fresher and not as sweet as black plum juice, and you can really taste the taste of apricots. 🍭🍭The packaging of theirs is also very good! The bottle design is convenient to carry and beautiful, and you can see a few apricots at the bottom of the bottle. 🍭🍭The price is 15 yuan per bottle, which is much more expensive than the 2.3 yuan in the market, but it tastes good, and you get what you pay for!

Satisfied, unique flavor, thirst-quenching and sweet, praise

We've arrived in Dunhuang. Dunhuang's city center isn't large, and Shazhou Night Market is essentially the center of it. Staying here is quite convenient, and everything isn't too far away. Huiweizhai (P2-6) It's located near Yiwu Trade City. Seeing that they had a decent number of people dining there, I chose them. I ordered the Huyang Braised Pancake (88 💰). The lamb wasn't very strong and tasted okay. The downside is that the portions are generally small, and the apricot peel juice isn't that amazing, so overall it was just average. The service was good, though. Shazhou Night Market (Dunhuang Travelogue) (P7-11) There are so many restaurants at Shazhou Night Market, and I wasn't sure which one to choose. The front desk lady at the hotel said this one was a good place where locals sometimes eat, and it was right next door, so we chose it. The cold scallion salad had no scallion flavor and was a refreshing cold dish that helped alleviate the greasiness. The grilled pork belly skewers were really large and chewy. When I ordered, I thought they were small skewers, so I ordered 10. The actual food was jaw-dropping. The spicy chicken feet were perfectly cooked and tender. It's boneless and comes with a steamed pancake. The portion is generous, and the broth is incredibly delicious. It's perfect for dipping pancakes or skewers. The owner was also very friendly and chatted with us, patiently recommending dishes. Don't worry. Li Guangji Apricot Peel Tea (p12-13) A lot of people have recommended it. I bought one and tried it, and it's definitely better than what I had at the restaurant this morning. It has a stronger sweet and sour flavor, a bit like plum soup. It's a great after-dinner drink to soothe the greasy feeling (though it still can't replace the half-sugar, iced version of the simmered mash milk tea in my heart, hahahaha. YYDS). Who can truly understand the feeling of being tired after a day of sightseeing, enjoying barbecue and beer downstairs at 11pm. The heat of the day fades, the breeze blows, and the lights are bright amidst the hustle and bustle. Letting go of fatigue and enjoying the cozy night is truly inspiring. I ate these today. I hope they'll provide some tips for those visiting Dunhuang. I wish you all a happy time and a great meal. The next post will share some affordable Dunhuang cultural and creative products.
