The following are some cities that may become food deserts, and the possible reasons for this.
1. Qingyuan City
Qingyuan City, located in northern Guangdong, is not remote, but it is weaker than other cities in Guangdong in terms of catering culture and scale. So in the eyes of some netizens, Qingyuan City is a gourmet desert city.
2. Xuzhou City
Xuzhou is located in the middle of Jiangsu Province. Compared with southern cities, its cuisine is relatively simple, mainly taking the route of Hebei cuisine, without much change and innovation. Some netizens think that Xuzhou is relatively short of representative local cuisine.
3. Baoding City
Baoding, located in the middle of Hebei Province, has a long history, but the local cuisine seems to have no unique characteristics or brand cuisine. Perhaps because the catering culture and market economy in this area are relatively backward, some netizens think Baoding is one of the gourmet desert cities.
4. Linfen City
Linfen City is located in the south of Shanxi Province, and its geographical position is relatively remote. Although Shanxi is one of the famous cuisines in China, Linfen is not outstanding in tourism and food promotion, and there are not many special cuisines. Compared with other major cities in Shanxi, Linfen may lack representative local cuisine.
On the whole, there may be many reasons for the formation of gourmet desert cities. Some geographical locations are remote and the transportation is inconvenient, which leads to insufficient influence of foreign food; Some have lagged behind in the development of food culture and have not formed a relatively complete and unique cuisine; There is also fierce market competition, no excellent representative food, and insufficient publicity and promotion. However, it does not prevent these cities from attracting people to travel by virtue of the advantages of other cultures and tourism resources, and their historical and cultural heritage is also worth exploring.
