China is a big country with a long history and culture, and each city has its own special cuisine. However, due to the historical and geographical background of different regions, the food culture of some cities is underdeveloped and has become a food desert.

1. Lanzhou

Lanzhou is a city in the northwest of China, which is famous for its Lamian Noodles. However, apart from Lamian Noodles in Lanzhou, the food culture in Lanzhou is not developed, and it is difficult to find restaurants and food stalls with characteristics. The reason is that Lanzhou has a remote geographical location, inconvenient transportation and relatively backward economy, and has not formed a unique food culture.

2. Yinchuan

Yinchuan is the capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China and a gourmet desert. Although there are many delicious foods in Ningxia, the food culture in Yinchuan is not outstanding, and it is difficult to find delicious restaurants and food stalls. The reason is that Yinchuan's history and culture are not long, and it lacks profound food details.

3. Shenyang

Shenyang is a city in the northeast of China, which is famous for Zhajiang Noodles and Little Sheep. However, apart from these foods, Shenyang's food culture is not developed, and it is difficult to find distinctive restaurants and food stalls. The reason is that Shenyang used to be a heavy industrial city, its economic development was relatively backward, and the development of food culture was also affected.

Generally speaking, gourmet culture is a unique cultural symbol of a city and an important factor to attract tourists. However, different cities have different historical and geographical backgrounds, and the development of food culture will be different. Although the cities listed above are food deserts, this does not mean that they lack other charms and attractions.
