Qiaojiao(standing on tiptoe) beef
>
Qiaojiao beef is a famous local snack of Leshan made from the internal organs of a bull. There is an interesting saying from the old days: “Fishers were poor, could not afford beef, so they cooked the internal organs of bulls with soup, and ate them standing. Because they were very tired, they stood on tiptoe and leaned on the table.”

Jiangtuan fish is tender and has few bones. It tastes very fresh when stewed with mushrooms, ham and yulan slices. These fish live in the rivers of Leshan, so Leshan Stewed Jiangtuan Fish has a great reputation in Sichuan Cuisine.
Dongpo Ink Fish
Dongpo Ink Fish lives in Minjiang River at the foot of Leshan Giant Buddha. According to legend, the fish is dyed with the ink of the poet Su Dongpo (1037-1101), who studied in the Dongpo Reading Building at the Dafo Temple (Lingyun Temple). When cooked, the outer skin of the fish gets crisp and the meat becomes tender.
