'Dining in Anshun' is a well-known tag line and plays an important role in the development of the travel industry in Anshun City. Tourists visiting large and mid-sized cities in China will find many Guizhou Cuisine restaurants. Many of the popular foods which are considered part of the Guizhou Cuisine come from Anshun City.

The Anshun cuisine favors the sour and spicy flavor. Traditional entrees include Buyi Chicken, Qingzhen (Islamic) Whole Ox Feast and Yelang Fish. In Tun Bu (a local village), the popular entrees vary somewhat with Jiuzhou stir-fry chicken with hot chili (named after an ancient town in southeast Guizhou), spicy Chinese honey locust bean, and oil braised preserved bean curd topping the list. The local snacks are very tasty and there are many different types to sample. Buckwheat cool bean jelly is made from sweet buckwheat which grows on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It is typically served with fried soy bean and pignut or with chili oil and preserved bean curd. Chang (chitterlings) Wang (pig's blood) Noodle is another flavorful food which is made of chitterlings and black pudding. Fried Egg Cake is made from the choice rice and soy bean and is stuffed with meat. Crystal Iced Jelly and Chongchong Cake are also very popular snacks. Crystal Iced Jelly has pawpaw seeds as its main ingredient and is made by adding walnut seed, peanut, rose sugar, Chinese dates and wax gourd slices. Chongchong Cake is made with steamed sticky rice, with chufa juice, sesame, walnut seed, and wax gourd slices blended in.

Tips: Many delicious foods and snacks can be found at the night fair. Please refer to nightlife for specific details.
