A Cantonese roast goose restaurant in the Zhongshan Hotel on Zhongshan Middle Road, known for roast goose and Guilin stuffed dishes.
Chunji Roast Goose, Zhongshan branch, is a Cantonese roast goose restaurant located in the Zhongshan Hotel at No. 2 Middle Zhongshan Road, Xiufeng District, in central Guilin, Guangxi, China. The restaurant pairs the Cantonese tradition of roast goose, with its crisp lacquered skin and juicy meat, with several local Guilin dishes. Roast goose is the signature order and the reason most diners come. The menu also features Lipu taro dishes, drawn from the nearby Lipu area known for its starchy, fragrant taro, and stuffed specialities including stuffed Li River snails and stuffed vegetables, typically priced around ¥20 to ¥50 (roughly $3 to $7) per portion. Per-person spending is about ¥60 to ¥80 (roughly $9 to $12), placing it in the mid-range for the city. The restaurant is reported as open daily from 10:00 to 15:00 and again from 16:30 to 22:00, though those hours come from a single 2026 local guide and should be confirmed on Amap or Meituan before visiting. The dining room is a typical Chinese hotel-restaurant hall with round tables suited to families and groups sharing several dishes. Atmosphere is lively and can be noisy at peak times. Weekend dinner queues are common, and the venue advises arriving before 11:00 for weekend lunch, or booking through the Meituan or Dianping apps. The Zhongshan Road location is central, within reach of the Shan Lake area and the main shopping streets, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing in the city. Ordering is simplest with a group, since roast goose is sold in portions that suit sharing, and side dishes of taro and stuffed vegetables round out a meal. The Chinese name can be searched on Amap, Dianping or Meituan to find the entrance within the hotel.
