Shandong Shandong cuisine is an important part of China's food culture and one of the eight major cuisines in China. It is famous at home and abroad for its freshness, saltiness, crispness, tenderness, unique flavor and fine production. There are great regional differences in the province, thus forming three systems: coastal Jiaodong cuisine, inland jinan cuisine, and self-contained Confucian cuisine. After the Song Dynasty, it became one of the representatives of "Northern Cuisine". From Qilu to Gyeonggi, from the inside of Shanhaiguan Pass to the outside of Shanhaiguan Pass, its influence has reached the Yellow River Basin and Northeast China, and it has a broad mass base in diet. Shandong cuisine is one of the most extensive local cuisines in China, covering Beijing, Tianjin, Tangshan and Northeast China.
