Shu Jiu Xiang (蜀九香) is Chengdu's flagship hotpot brand, founded 1995 and now with the most location density in the city. The signature pot is a copper double-pot (yuanyang) with the mala (numbing-spicy) broth on one side and a milder tomato or mushroom broth on the other. Order: hand-cut chuanchuan beef plates, fresh duck blood (essential), goose intestine (鹅肠) and lotus root. Average ¥150-220 per person. Spicy tolerance: ask for 微辣 (mildly spicy) if you're new; the default is 中辣 which is intense for most foreigners. Best location: Taikoo Li B2 outlet — heart of tourist area, English staff, longest queues but most foreigner-friendly. Reservations via WeChat or Trip.com.

Tourist-friendly, English menu. The numbing-spicy is no joke — start with mild.
