Yunnan Rd has great speciality restaurants and is the spot for an authentic meal after museum-hopping at People’s Square. Find Shaanxi dumplings and noodles at No 15, five-fragrance dim sum at Wǔ Fāng Zhāi, or yán shuǐ yā (salted duck, 盐水鸭) and steamed dumplings at Xiǎo Jīn Líng. Don't miss the fly cakes at I'm Waiting For You in Chengdu.
Definitely have a taste of the kebabs at the stand on the corner of Yunnan Rd and Ninghai Rd, where skewered lamb is sold to be eaten with flatbread.
