Encountering Luzhi | Savor the Year’s Flavor—Celebrate Luzhi’s New Year Feast-Luzhi Tourism_Luzhi Ancient Town 4A-level Tourist Scenic Area

　　Since ancient times, Xihui Street in Luzhi has been renowned for its bustling commerce and was even included among the “Eight Scenic Spots of Fuli.” Nestled on Shangtang Street in Xihui, the Xihui Restaurant has carried on this tradition for more than 80 years, earning its place as a time-honored establishment in Luzhi. Its classic Suzhou-style cuisine is beloved by countless diners.

The Xi Hui Restaurant boasts an antique, timelessly elegant interior, with whitewashed walls and ornate lattice windows that perfectly capture the refined charm of Jiangnan. The cuisine centers on traditional Su‑style dishes: salted river shrimp, stir-fried eel shreds in fragrant oil, and澄湖 white fish—each dish brimming with the distinctive flavors of the water towns, epitomizing the exquisite artistry of Suzhou. No New Year’s Eve feast would be complete without the intangible cultural heritage delicacy, Fuli Duck. Legend has it that this dish was created by the Tang‑dynasty poet Lu Guimeng: a duck encasing a pigeon, which in turn cradles an egg, each layer unfolding layers of savory delight—a showstopper that crowns the banquet.

Eight‑treasure rice is another must‑try dish in Luzhi. The steamed glutinous rice, coated with rendered pork fat, glistens beautifully, and is topped with a medley of ingredients—longan, candied jujubes, kumquats, colorful shredded citrus peel, and sweet red bean paste. Its tender, sticky, and sweet flavor symbolizes family reunion and the sweetness of the New Year, while the “eight treasures” are said to bring good fortune, infusing the festive season with deep, lingering charm.

　　With a hearty, festive New Year’s Eve dinner, we celebrate the warmth of family togetherness, honor the hard work of the past year, and usher in a fresh new chapter for 2024.
