What are the specialties in Dongguan?

1. Dongguan sausage: Dongguan sausage is short and thick. It is said that the original creator of this sausage was a short boy. Because of his short stature, some sausages were dragged to the ground and stained with a lot of sediment, which made him unpopular with customers. Later, he tried to make the sausage short and thick, and the processing method was different. He took the burden to the streets, and people saw the thick sausage from a distance and smelled the special fragrance of the sausage. From then on, business was booming, and there was no need to sell it along the street. Up to now, people still use "Dongguan dachshund" to describe some short and elf people.
