Lianyungang is a beautiful tourist city, with mountains and seas connected, beautiful flowers and four seasons. People's lives here are rich and colorful, and it is known as a national health city with the concerted efforts of the people of the whole city.

Lianyungang is adjacent to the Yellow Sea in the east, facing North Korea, South Korea and Japan across the sea. Xuzhou in the west, Haian in Yancheng in the south, and Rizhao in Shandong in the north.

Wu Cheng'en, the author of China Four Great Classical Novels The Journey to the West, is from Huai 'an, Jiangsu. The Huaguo Mountain described in this article stands in the Nanyun Mountain in Lianyungang City, which is a national five-A-level tourist attraction.

Lianyungang has not only the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, but also the huge throughput of the port, which is the bridgehead of the Eurasian continental bridge and the beginning of the Belt and Road Initiative.

In this fertile land, people's spiritual life and material life are full, and their lives are comfortable and emotional. There are abundant natural resources here all the year round, and all kinds of special products are too numerous to mention, especially seafood resources, just like the tide of the sea, wave after wave.

The flat peaches dedicated to immortals at the The Journey to the West Flat Peach Festival are rare and precious tributes. In Lianyungang, in the most beautiful April on earth, the blossoming peach blossoms have become a beautiful landscape to decorate the spring. Wherever you go, you can see peach blossoms everywhere.

There are countless varieties of peaches. There are glossy peaches, peaches, yellow peaches, flat peaches and winter peaches. How many food factories can it and sell it to all parts of the country, and many people in our place will also make their own cans by indigenous methods.

There are more orchards in Lianyungang Mountain, and chestnuts, dates, ginkgo and persimmons can be seen everywhere. Autumn is the harvest season, and these fruits gradually mature and begin to fall down. On weekends, many groups of friends gather together to pick up chestnuts and ginkgo in the mountains.

Lianyungang people are also very smart, and they can learn everything as soon as they learn. When apples, sweet pears, grapes and other fruits in the orchard weigh heavily on the branches, people here start to get busy. Word of mouth spreads and everyone learns to brew their own wine. They buy hundreds of kilograms of grapes every year and take them home to brew bottles of sweet wine, which can be stored in the refrigerator for a year.

It's a waste for a tourist to come to Lianyungang if he doesn't try Shaguang Fish Soup and Guanyun Doudan.

Doudan is the only delicious food that Guanyun people began to eat, and it has not been widely spread until the 199s.

When it comes to Guanyun Doudan, people who are not from Lianyungang may really not know what Doudan is. Many people think that doudan is a worm, which looks disgusting and terrible. How can it become a delicious food? Most people dare not eat it when they see it.

When we invite foreign guests to eat bean Dan, we always let them taste it first. After tasting it, they were full of praise, and they tasted a unique and special fragrance, but they couldn't say what it was like. They all said it was the first time to eat such delicious food. Then introduce them to what it is, but they don't feel terrible at all and will continue to eat.

Doudan is a bean worm that grows on the branches and leaves of soybean and lives by eating soybean leaves. It is a non-toxic and sterile original ecological food.

The bean paste in summer is turquoise when it first comes out, so it should be processed before cooking. Soak Doudan in clear water for a few minutes and then take it out. Squeeze Doudan from the head to the tail one by one like a dough roll, and squeeze out the skin. All the small white meat and fruits are squeezed out and put in clear water, and the excrement residue and meat in Doudan's stomach are automatically separated.

Doudan in summer is fresh, tender and smooth. After eating Doudan's mouth, other dishes will feel tasteless. It has a unique fragrance, unparalleled.

In winter, the bean Dan has been stung, and it has all fallen into the soil, and its body has begun to turn khaki. Before cooking, put Doudan in a boiling water pot to make Doudan bright yellow, then pick it up, pull off the head of Doudan, and squeeze it from the tail to the head with a dumpling shaft. A milky and fat long meat is squeezed out of the head, and the stung Doudan has stopped eating, and its stomach is clean, so it is not necessary to put it in clean water, so it can be directly put into the pot.

The stinging bean pill is fat and fleshy, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is. The fresh fragrance spreads and rises in your mouth, making people feel sad, and the teeth and cheeks are full of saliva.

Doudan is more expensive than ordinary dishes. Doudan, which just came out in summer, costs about 5 to 6 yuan a serving in restaurants, but it will be cheaper gradually in the peak season of Doudan, and it will cost 2 to 31 servings. If you want to eat doudan in winter, it is the most expensive time, and the price is as high as more than 1 yuan a piece when you have time.

Nowadays, Doudan is no longer owned exclusively by Guanyun, but has become popular in all the top restaurants and hotels in Huaihai area. However, the practice and flavor are mainly based on the method of irrigation.

As a natural organic food, Doudan is known as "rare in China, unique in northern Jiangsu and unique in Guanyun", and has now become the most representative specialty food in Guanyun County. Doudan has also become a resounding business card for Guanyun!

We Lianyungang people also have a special liking for seafood. There are fresh seafood in the farmer's market all the year round: prawns, crabs, shrimps, octopus, squid, fish and other products cultivated in seawater and fresh water.

When foreigners who like seafood come to Lianyungang, they will bring back some dry seafood to enjoy at home.

However, the fresh Shaguang fish soup is a major feature of our place, which can only be tasted locally in Lianyungang.

Since ancient times, Lianyungang people have had the custom of eating sand fish. Every summer comes, there are just two or three months-old sand fish lurking everywhere on the beach, and fishing enthusiasts often go to the beach to catch them. Those sand fish hiding in the shallows have become their bag.

Sarcophagus is a kind of goby with spear tail, belonging to goby family, which is a large goby produced between seawater and salty fresh water. Shaguang fish has a very big mouth and is very gluttonous. It eats anything that can be swallowed, such as small fish and shrimp.

The meat of Shaguang fish is delicate and tender, which can not only be braised in brown sauce, but also be the best ingredient to make soup. Shaguang fish soup is as white as milk and rich in nutrition. Fish is delicious without small splinters. If you put it in your mouth for a while, the flesh and blood will be easily separated. Even if you bite the fishbone, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in your mouth. The fishbone is not hard at all, just like the brittle bones of animals.

Shaguang Fish Soup has been listed in China Famous Cookbook. According to Food Materia Medica, Shaguang Fish "warms the middle and tonifies the qi, strengthens the yang, strengthens the bones and muscles, and benefits the blood vessels ...", which is very nutritious.

There is also a folk proverb, "Shaguang competes for mutton soup in October". Once, there was a legend of sand fish, which has been passed down to this day.

In autumn and winter, Lianyungang people will set off an upsurge of eating sand fish. Local newspapers and periodicals hold large-scale essay-writing activities for sand fish every year.

We Lianyungang people are very hospitable. People's hospitality is: eat well, drink well and have fun.
