The local delicacy is Guilin Rice Noodles Gui Lin Mi Fen, also available as stir-fried Chao Fen. This is served everywhere, but try to avoid the joints near the train station. Traditionally the noodle and the topping is first eaten without soup, and once the topping has run out there is usually a pot of soup to add flavour to the rest of your noodles. There are also various pickles and condiments that you can add to your noodles. Servings are sold and priced in small, medium, and large. (一两；二两；三两）The small is more of snack, so start with the medium. There is a good spot in the street behind the Zhongshan Hotel.
A local snack is "horse hoof cake" Ma Ti Gao, which is a crumbly cake stuffed with red beans filling. Another delicious breakfast item is sweet tofu infused with a certain flower. Look for roadside vendors adding orange-coloured liquid to a steaming hot bag of tofu, which you then drink with a straw.
For those who do not want to eat local food, there are a few KFC and McDonald's fast food chains easily found in the city center.
