Zhejiang · Taste of Jiangnan & Local Life Food Tour — a curated private journey by ChinaTravelPlus.
Go deep into Shengli River Food Street or Binjiang "Garbage Street," avoiding the tourist traps of Hefang Street. Taste Old Man's Oil-Braised Shrimp, roast chicken, and various authentic snacks, feeling the nightlife of Hangzhou people.
In an old house on Cangqiao Straight Street, taste authentic Shaoxing Drunken Shrimp and Preserved Vegetable Braised Pork, paired with a cup of warm Guyuelongshan yellow wine, experiencing the slightly tipsy time of literati.
Go to Dongqian Lake Hanling Old Street, taste lake fresh food and Ningbo Tangyuan. Visit local-favorite small shops, eat a bowl of authentic Moss Rice Cake, and feel the freshness of the coastal city.
Follow the principle of "eating in season." Taste Longjing Shrimp and Malantou in spring, Three Shrimp Noodles and Waxberries in summer, Hairy Crabs in autumn, and Cangshu Mutton in winter. Every bite is the freshest flavor of the season. ---
