Build a trip to Chengdu
Zhong Shuishou has specialized in 'Water Dumplings' since 1893. Unlike Northern Chinese dumplings, these are served without soup and are smothered in a unique sweet and spicy red chili oil and garlic sauce. The sensory experience is a perfect balance of the tender dough and the bold, aromatic sauce. The restaurant is a historic institution that provides a consistent, high-quality taste of old Chengdu. Expert recommendation: The signature 'Zhong Dumplings' (sweet and spicy) are the absolute must-order. Pro tip: The portions are small (usually 3-5 dumplings), making this a perfect stop during a 'snack crawl' through the Chunxi Road area.
