Dunhuang food revolves around wheat flour noodles as the
main staple of the local diet. Noodles are served with lamb, chicken,
or beef. On the other hand, Dunhuang Rang Pizi has long been one of the
most popular dishes in the city. These noodles are actually made from
pea flour and are clear, white, cool and slippery. The noodles are seasoned
with hot peppers for a cool, yet spicy feel that is just perfect for desert
weather. Shazhou Night Market is one of the best places in Dunhuang to
try authentic Dunhuang specialties. Virtually all of the very best of
Dunhuang's northwestern cuisine can be found here: Saozi Noodle, stuffed
bread and even mutton kebabs. In addition, you will also have opportunity
to sample Huanghe sweet melons, grapes and Hami melons.
