1. West Lake vinegar fish.

When it comes to Hangzhou cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is West Lake vinegar fish. West Lake vinegar fish can be said to be a must-have dish in Hangzhou. Fresh and sweet fish with smooth and oily sweet and sour sauce is very delicious. According to legend, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an allusion to the West Lake vinegar fish. The story of a pair of uncles and sisters, who went through bitter hardships, finally severely punished the bully and finally got together made the dish of West Lake vinegar fish even more meaningful.

Second, Dongpo Meat

Dongpo Meat is as famous as the great poet Su Shi. As long as Su Shi is mentioned, he will think of Dongpo Meat, and when he mentions Dongpo Meat, he will inevitably think of Su Shi. According to legend, during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was precisely because of the guidance of the great poet Su Shi that the cooked pork pieces were fat and thin, ruddy in color, fragrant at the entrance, and fat but not greasy, which was today's "Dongpo Meat", thus commemorating Su Shi's transformation of the West Lake and benefiting one side of the people.

3. Shrimp in Longjing

Dragon.

Well tea is a famous tea of West Lake in Hangzhou, and its reputation resounds throughout the motherland. Shrimp with Longjing tea is a famous dish in Hangzhou.

The freshness of shrimps is matched with the fragrance of tea, which is delicious in color, flavor and aftertaste.

fourth, pianerchuan.

Piarchuan is a very famous noodle soup in Hangzhou, just like "You are not a hero until you reach the Great Wall", and Hangzhou people even have a saying that "If you don't eat Piarchuan in Hangzhou, you have never been to Hangzhou". In the south, topping is the most important thing, and a bowl of noodles is good, but a bowl of noodles is not good, which means that a bowl of noodles will not be delicious. The characteristic of Piarchuan is that the delicious cabbage and bamboo shoots in the topping can't be surpassed. Because the bamboo shoots in the topping are all flaky, that's why this noodle soup is called Piarchuan.
