　　Braised Chicken in Sauce from Loushan is located at the northern foot of the scenic Loushanguan Pass. Loushanguan, a strategic pass between Sichuan and Guizhou, has been a contested military site since ancient times and is known as the “First Pass in Northern Guizhou.” It gained worldwide fame during the Long March when the Red Army fought and won a major battle here. The dish originated in 1992 at the foot of the Daliushan Mountains. Today, there is a head restaurant and several branches in Tongzi. The flagship, "Bamboo Forest Villa" Loushan, enjoys widespread renown due to its proximity to the famous pass. It covers an operating area of about 5,000 square meters, while the county branch is around 260 square meters.
