A Night of Yanji Cold Noodles and Skewers — The Culinary Capital of the Korean-Chinese
Yanji, the center of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, is a gastronomic city where cold noodles, bibimbap, and lamb skewers coexist. Travel is easy because signs are written in Hangul alongside Korean, and there are many shops where Korean is spoken. The cold noodles are characterized by the Yanbian style, featuring a sweet taste in a beef broth with floating ice. In the evening, the unwritten rule is lamb skewers with Yanjing beer in the skewer alley.
