Many cities in China are called gourmet deserts because their catering development is relatively backward and they lack diversified food choices. Here are some examples:

1. Hulunbeier City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region: Due to the remote geographical location and the influence of many ethnic minorities, the development of local catering industry is relatively backward;

2. Kaili City, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province: The types of food here are relatively single and lack diversity;

3. Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province: Due to its remote geographical location and large Tibetan population, the local catering industry is relatively backward;

4. Some areas in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, such as Hotan, Kashgar and Aksu. Due to the remote geographical location and the influence of national cultural differences, the local food culture is not developed.

Of course, in addition to the above cities, there are many other cities that also have the phenomenon of food desert.
