When you reach Daxi’s Heping Old Street, don’t miss the 60-year-old, wildly popular “Lizhang-ma” savory rice cakes. Choose between the traditional or brown-sugar versions—both are generous and inexpensive. Steamed the old-fashioned way, these authentic Hakka treats are snowy-white cakes topped with radish bits and shiitake, then drizzled with a sauce made from Chinlan soy sauce—utterly delicious. The sweet brown-sugar version is fragrant, chewy, and silky; pair it with gong-wan soup for a perfect match. Parking: use Yue-mei, Daxi Bridgehead, or In-front-of-City-Hall lots, or the No. 2 lot, Kangzhuang Rd. curbside spaces, then walk.
