Having Water Boiled Meat at Chengde 承德
I was extremely frustrated at how that day turned out. I spent CNY 75 to get to the city of Chengde 承德 in Hebei 河北 province, only to arrive 4 hours late and no affordable place to stay. For some reason they don’t make it easy for foreigners to stay here. Maybe they only want the ones with money, but I don’t really see anything worth shopping here. After a few minutes trying to figure out what to do, I decided to go back to Beijing instead.
But first I would not go home empty handed. I was walking around one of their commercial centers looking for a place to eat. I don’t really know what is the specialty in Chengde so I just went for something familiar. A small eatery was still open, though I could not see inside. There were a lot of teenagers there hanging around and were very noisy. I guess that is part of the atmosphere. I ordered my water boiled meat 水煮肉 which turned out to be a huge bowl, however I had enough time to spare so I slowly ate the entire bowl. I wasn’t very tasty either as I’ve had much better ones elsewhere.
