BEIJING, Oct. 21,
2024 /CNW/ -- East China's Yangzhou City in
Jiangsu Province has a
time-honored fame for its fascinating beauty as mentioned in many
Chinese ancient poems, while now it is dubbed a food heaven after
being granted the status of Creative City of Gastronomy by UNESCO
in 2019.
Since the city was selected as Creative City of Gastronomy,
Yangzhou has committed to building a world-renowned city for
culture and tourism by making creative Huaiyang cuisine, one of the
Four Great Traditions in Chinese cuisine, promoting its
time-honoured history and culture and deepening international
exchanges.
A typical food tour in Yangzhou starts from a nice, relaxing
breakfast. Zaocha, which literally means morning tea, usually
includes various delectable pastries and dishes, accompanied by a
pot of hot tea.
For lunch, either traditional dishes or modern creative dishes
are good choices. Besides meals, exploring Huaiyang cuisine museum
and characteristic blocks is also a good way to know local
culture.
Yangzhou's food culture has been passed down for centuries and
remains vibrant and fresh. The city has also successfully applied
for 75 intangible cultural heritage projects related to food, over
30 China Geographic Indications, and six food-related "China
Time-Honored Brands".
