Crossing-bridge Noodles100 YearsLocal Icon

The century-old home of guoqiao mixian: Yunnan's famous crossing-the-bridge rice noodles.

Jian Xin Yuan has served Kunming's signature dish since 1906. Crossing-bridge noodles arrive as a theatre of small plates: a bowl of scalding broth, raw ingredients, and the rice noodles you lower in yourself.

The broth stays hot for minutes under its layer of chicken oil - trust the ritual and follow the numbers on the menu card.

Best for: Kunming's signature dish, served by the people who invented it.
