Linjiang Yilou (临江一楼)

Linjiang Yilou (临江一楼) is a casual restaurant on Liyang Old Street on the river side of Tunxi District, Huangshan, Anhui, China, serving classic Anhui (Hui) cuisine near the Xin'an River promenade. Diners rate it about 4.1. It is a regional restaurant rather than a chef-driven or Michelin-listed venue, and its appeal is authentic Anhui home cooking in a setting a short walk from the river. Listed dishes include Anhui regional specialities, stinky mandarin fish and mao tofu. Stinky mandarin fish is brined for several days before cooking, giving a pungent aroma but mild flavour, and mao tofu is fried tofu with a fine natural mould coat; both are emblematic of the Huangshan area. The dining room is an ordinary local restaurant with round tables suited to groups, a relaxed pace and moderate noise, and casual dress is the norm. The riverside position makes it a natural pairing with an evening walk along the Xin'an River. No wine or beverage programme is documented; tea, soft drinks and beer are the usual choices. Hours are listed as lunch and dinner daily and should be verified on Dianping. Reservations are recommended for dinner groups, while walk-in seating is acceptable at lunch. Prices are mid-range ($$) by Chinese standards. Liyang Old Street is part of the Tunxi old-town area, near the more heavily visited Tunxi Old Street. Searching the Chinese name in the Dianping (大众点评) or Meituan (美团) app shows queue length, current hours and menu photos, and both accept foreign-issued cards through Alipay or WeChat Pay once linked.
