Yuanxi Lu (员西路), (Next to the zoo). A street full of small restaurants and shops. There's a good place hidden behind an entrance with a small chinese-style roof on top, selling chou doufu in the entrance. One shop to the left you can try pork brain or just some tasty dumplings. On the opposite side of the street there's a Dai minority restaurant. You can recognize it by its bamboo-style walls.
