1. The taste is niche 1. The dishes in Beijing and Hangzhou have a niche taste and do not belong to the popular consumer tastes.

The characteristics of Beijing cuisine are crisp, crispy, delicious, and nothing memorable.

Beijingers love to eat various special sauces such as sweet noodle sauce and sesame sauce. Whether they are eating hot pot, noodles or deep-fried burritos, they will put a little of it in. This kind of sauce has a taste that few outsiders have tasted. This is the first time.

If you taste it, you will inevitably feel a lot of discomfort. Unlike common sauces like chili, everyone can adapt to it.

2. The characteristics of Hangbang cuisine are light, salty and fresh, slightly sweet, sweet and light niche taste, which is really difficult for the majority of outsiders to accept.

Hangzhou people love to eat Dongpo Pork, and the reputation of Dongpo Pork is well-known to every household. When foreign tourists come to Hangzhou, they often taste it, but after eating it, they always complain about it.

2. Local specialties are not recognized by everyone. 1. Beijing and Hangzhou do have a lot of specialties in the eyes of locals. For example, Beijing’s bean juice and noodles with soybean paste are foods that many old Beijingers love to eat three meals a day.

However, when foreigners come to Beijing and taste the noodles with soybean juice, they all complain that the soybean juice has a rotten and sour smell, which is really unacceptable.

After tasting it once, foreign tourists and migrant workers are no longer willing to eat it a second time.

2. Hangzhou West Lake Vinegar Fish is the signature dish of Hangzhou cuisine. Although the appearance of the dish is quite exquisite and the presentation is good, after tasting it, foreign tourists found a pungent vinegary and sour smell, which was really unpalatable.

Not to mention outsiders, even the Jiangsu people next door are not used to the taste of West Lake vinegar fish.

3. The price/performance ratio is too low 1. A serving of Peking Roast Duck costs at least two to three hundred yuan in a restaurant on the streets of Beijing. A serving of West Lake Vinegar Fish in Hangzhou costs less than a hundred yuan.

In big cities like Beijing and Hangzhou, even ordering takeout, including delivery fees, will cost at least 25 yuan or more. If you want to eat local specialties, it will be even higher.

2. Locals in Beijing and Hangzhou may think that tourists think special dishes are unpalatable because they have not tasted authentic ones. However, locals have overlooked one point. Authentic specialty restaurants are often quite expensive.

For tourists, the emphasis is on spending less and enjoying more. Even many young people pay attention to "traveling on a budget". When choosing where to go, they pay more attention to cost-effectiveness, especially the cost-effectiveness of food.
