The most important scenic spot in Hangzhou is the West Lake, and the most popular place in the West Lake Scenic Area is the Lingyin Temple. Next to this thousand-year-old temple, the temple has opened a vegetarian noodle restaurant, which has naturally become a gathering place for tourists from all walks of life to solve their food problems.

Leaving aside religious and cultural factors, Shifangyuan's soup can only be regarded as unsatisfactory. Since the vegan ingredients inevitably give people a bland feeling, Shifang Yuan's soup is oiled with more oil than ordinary Hangzhou noodle restaurants to improve the thin and bland taste of the noodles. This method makes the noodle soup, which is relatively simple in taste, only have a single greasy taste, which tastes the same as chewing wax. Relatively speaking, the noodles in Shifang Yuan are still above the passing line, between wide noodles and thick noodles, bringing a certain bite and starchy feeling, so even if the portion is not large, it is quite full. Shifang Yuan has four types of Yunlin, Jixiang Noodles, Longevity Noodles and Fulu Noodles, each of which is mainly differentiated in terms of taste and ingredients, and the ingredients used will be listed on the menu. In addition, Shifang Yuan is a vegan restaurant, and the dishes do not contain spicy and stimulating seasonings such as onions and garlic and eggs.

In addition to pasta, Shifangyuan also launched several cold dishes, but they are all common dishes in vegetarian restaurants, and there are not many highlights, but one of the vegetarian goose products is really disappointing, each layer of bean skin can not even do the most basic bonding, and it will be spread out with chopsticks, pay attention to lightning protection. Generally speaking, the restaurant located in the national scenic spot, Shifangyuan is very conscientious, and the noodle less than 20 yuan is considered a low price, but its products have no advantage in Hangzhou, where there are many noodle shops, and it is not worth going to.
