Not only does it have a long history and cultural heritage, but Qinhuai snacks are even more mouth-watering. If you want to taste authentic Qinhuai snacks in Nanjing, you must visit Confucius Temple.

By chance, I passed by Nanjing and stopped for a while. My first thought was to visit the Confucius Temple. The Confucius Temple is the Nanjing Confucius Temple. It is located on Gongyuan Street on the north bank of the Qinhuai River in Qinhuai District. Walking in the night, the Confucius Temple is especially I have the feeling to walk through the archway of Confucius Temple and experience the nightlife of this ancient capital in the bustling traffic.

The Confucius Temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is a large-scale ancient building complex. During the development history of Nanjing for several years, many aristocratic families gathered nearby, so it is said to be the "Golden Powder of the Six Dynasties". Fan Li, Zhou Yu, Wang Dao, Xie An, Li Bai, Du Mu, Wu Jingzi and other hundreds of famous military strategists, politicians and writers have created immortal achievements here and written chapters that will be passed down through the ages. Walking on the pedestrian street, what interests me the most are the special snacks here, such as old Nanjing yogurt and crab roe buns. My friends said that Confucius Temple offers no less than 200 kinds of traditional foods and snacks. The food culture of Confucius Temple has a long history, which can be traced back to the Six Dynasties period. It was especially prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with various cuisines and snacks available.

I have always been a tireless pursuit of food. Qinhuai snacks rank first among the four famous snacks in China. Let me talk about the four famous snacks first, including Nanjing Confucius Temple Qinhuai snacks, Suzhou Xuanmiaoguan snacks, and Shanghai City God Temple snacks. and Changsha Fire Palace Snacks, have you tried them all? There are many kinds of snacks in Qinhuai. When I arrived at Confucius Temple, I saw that every small shop was full of diners. I found one that looked more pleasing to my eyes, so I walked in, intending to sit down and taste this famous snack.

This shop adopts an open style sales method. Different snacks are lined up in a long row, and the prices are clearly written in front of the stall. The tangy aroma makes people feel excited for a while. I don’t know what to eat. Small shaomai, small tea dumplings, braised dried meat, duck blood soup, steam pot black-bone chicken, fried stinky dried meat, plum blossom steamed cake, and Yuhua stone glutinous rice balls are some of the more famous Qinhuai snacks.

Speaking of soup dumplings, everyone knows that Tianjin’s Goubuli and Kaifeng’s soup dumplings are different, but when it comes to Nanjing’s soup dumplings, they are a little different from the other two. The dumplings here They are relatively large, priced at 2 yuan and 50 each. You will be given a straw first, use the straw to suck up the soup inside, and then slowly eat the remaining fillings. It tastes very satisfying.

Traditional Qinhuai snacks are heavy in oil and sugar. After modern improvements, they are very suitable for today's taste buds. The snacks in Confucius Temple have the exquisiteness of Nanjing people, who pay attention to color, aroma, taste and shape. It is a great enjoyment for both sight and taste. After eating delicious snacks and walking along the Qinhuai River, you can feel the charm of this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties in the shadow of lights.
