Guilin is the traditional home of transparent "glass" noodles, made of rice and served many different ways. Guilin's Buddhist temples are famous for vegetarian fare. The area is famous for fresh produce of every kind especially fresh fruit and many exotic and tasty mushrooms. The cooking style is Cantonese and Sichuan, and for the adventures, Guilin's main street becomes a huge Cantonese restaurant every evening, and typical Sichuan food is also avialbel everywhere in the town.

Cantonese cuisine originates from the region around Canton in southern China's Guangdong province. There is a Cantonese saying: "We eat everything on the ground with four legs except tables and chairs. We eat everything in the sky except airplanes." Cantonese cuisine includes almost all edible food in addition to the staples of pork, beef and chicken -- snakes, snails, insects, worms, chicken feet, duck tongues, ox genitals, and entrails. A subject of controversy amongst Westerners

Another famous cuisine in Guilin is Sichuan Cuisine.Sichuan Cuisine, one of the major cuisine styles in China, originated from the states of Ba and Shu in ancient China. In the Western Han (206 BC-24 AD) and the Western Jin (265-316) and Eastern Jin (317-420) dynasties, Sichuan Cuisine took shape. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, because of the introduction of peppers, Sichuan Cuisine formed its own unique taste and shape, and began to influence the surrounding areas.
