Eating Leshan – Noodle Shack

Sep24

Restaurant: Noodle Shack

Date: August 5, 2018

We drove t the small city (1 million, a Chinese small) from Chengdu to check out the world’s largest premodern statue:
1A0A4172
The Great Buddha of Leshan, carved into the cliffside of the river 1200-1300 years ago!
1A0A4058
And so we caught a quick lunch between tourist stops.
1A0A4059-Pano
At this anonymous (unless you read Chinese) noodle shop our guide took us to. He has a penchant (apparently) for hole-in-the-wall noodles.
1A0A4061
We sat outside so as not to broil in the 100deg heat.
1A0A4063
Non spicy pork noodles. Pork “ribs” similar to what you sometimes get at dimsum places.
1A0A4067
Plain noodles for my picky son. Chinese don’t actually like to make plain noodles, and in this case they felt compelled to at least stick some green onion on top.
1A0A4070
I had the spicy pork noodles. Not bad, some kind of pork broth with a ton of chili and the same pork nuggets.

Not the greatest meal ever but it hit the spot.

The fiery line to view the Buddha was 2.5 hours in 100deg heat just to START climbing down the stairs!

Leshan has it’s modern side too (just across from the Buddha)
