The mouth-watering flavors of Leshan City in SW China's Sichuan

Qiaojiao beef, or foot-lift beef, is a well-known dish from Leshan, a city in southwest China's Sichuan Province. This slow-cooked beef soup, made from the internal organs of a bull, is not just a local favorite but also a recognized part of Leshan's intangible cultural heritage.

Paired with a plate of chili sauce, it's incredibly spicy and flavorful, making you reach for that extra bowl of rice.
