Must-Visit Attractions Songyang Old Town Address: ~70m west of Jiangbin Community-2, Changsong Road, Songyang County, Lishui Highlights: Open 24/7.

Local Food Experiences Salt-Baked Chicken: Songyang Old Street's signature—free-range chicken roasted in coarse salt for 4 hours, crispy skin with tender meat. Xieli Tea Pork Knuckle: Herbal stew with pork and medicinal herbs, rich yet non-greasy, infused with tea aroma. Lantern Tray: Songyang-style "tempura"—fried radish strips in rice batter, crispy and affordable. Fermented Rice Wine Large Intestine Noodles: Clean intestines paired with rich wine lees, chewy texture—featured on CCTV's "A Bite of China." Songyang Sausage: Air-dried pork with spices, a festive must-have and perfect with drinks. 4.
