Guangxi Province is a mecca for rice-noodle-lovers in China. Luosifen (Liuzhou river snails rice noodles) is a popular dish from Liuzhou, renowned for its unusual, pungent flavor. Some people say it has a strange smell, while others think it is fresh and fragrant. It can be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night snack for Liuzhou locals.

With a fresh and smelly taste that makes people find it impossible to stop eating, Luosifen has spread from Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, to the north and south of the country. Although a bowl of Luosifen is not delicate food and cannot be served at a banquet, it is still a delicious dish that you can hardly forget.
