This place is a treat. Vegetarian food can be tough to find in Yangzhou, but this restaurant, recently opened in collaboration with the historic Da Ming Temple, serves an impressive assortment of dishes made completely without the use of animal products. Buddhist vegetarian cuisine is an entirely different style of Chinese fare, and the owners are more than happy to discuss the philosophy behind it. The cuisine is based on the Huai Yang School, and displays notably creativity. The restaurant also boasts very reasonable prices. Smaller dishes start around 5 Yuan and the more intricate, such as a large fake fish or ribs, go for about 30 Yuan. Another plus is each dish is pictured on the menu next to its description, which even includes a list of the exact ingredients. This restaurant is well worth a visit.

To find the restaurant head south on Yangzi Jiang Road (扬子江南路). Pass the Times Supermarket and then look to the northeast corner of the intersection with Wenhui East Road (文汇东路)
