　　　The best representation of Jinshi rice noodles can be found at Liu Longzi Beef Noodle Shop, located near the picturesque Sanhu Park in the city center.

　　Established in the early 1940s, Liu Longzi Beef Noodle Shop got its name from its founder—a deaf man surnamed Liu. From the very beginning, it gained immense popularity in Jinshi and Lixian for its unique flavor, and now it attracts visitors from all over the world with its distinctive style.

　　Authentic Jinshi rice noodles come with a wide variety of toppings. For beef noodles alone, there are three types: clear stewed, red braised, and spicy. In addition, you can also try sour and spicy, shredded meat, pork ribs, chicken, three delicacies, tripe, pig’s trotters, cuttlefish, and even turtle-flavored rice noodles.

　　Nowadays, Jinshi locals have shifted their preference toward lighter noodle broth and toppings, adding spicy condiments only if desired. This contrasts with the common outside perception that Jinshi rice noodles are always spicy.
