While every city has its own culinary culture full of local specialties, China, as a large country with a rich culinary culture, undeniably has some cities or regions that are relatively lacking or have no distinctive features in terms of dining. This situation may be related to the city's history, geographical environment, economic conditions and other factors.
In mainland China, some relatively remote, sparsely populated or slow-developing regions in recent years, due to the inconvenience of transportation and relative economic backwardness, etc., the culinary culture of these places may not have been well inherited and carried forward, resulting in a relatively homogeneous catering industry.
In addition, some emerging cities may also be considered culinary deserts due to the fact that they are not as rich in history and culture as older cities, and the tastes of their residents are less prominent. But that doesn't mean these cities don't have good food, just need to have the patience to dig, you can find those restaurants and snack bars that are distinctive and tasty.
In short, although the food and beverage industry in certain cities or regions may be relatively lacking or have no distinctive features, China, as a country with a long food culture, has a rich and diverse selection of food in the vast majority of its cities, and all it takes is the patience to discover and dig, and you're sure to find great food.
