Discovered this fat pig in one of the numerous bars in the old city of Lijiang.
Could someone tell me more about it?

Alfex, it is preserved pig. Naxi ethtic minority in Lijiang has a unique way to preserve the pig. They remove the pig's innards and take away all bones and lean meat. Then they put Sichuan pepper, garlic and ginger in and then sew the skin together and salt the pig. Then the "hollow" pig is flattened and dried in the sun. It is said that such preserved pig can be preserved for several years.

Did you taste preserved pig in Lijiang? It is very delicious.

Dear Jane01,
Thank you for your information.
I already went to Lijiang twice but didn't have a chance to taste preserve pig.
Could you please write for me the name in chinese so, next time I will be able to order it.

Alfex,

I am sorry to reply you so late. It is called 琵琶猪 in Chinese. Next time you may order this in the restaurant when you get to Lijiang.
