Food culture is an indispensable part of every city, but in some cities, due to factors such as geographical environment and the overall development level of the catering industry, the quality of catering is difficult to satisfy.

Here are my thoughts on food desert cities.

First of all, Taiyuan is one of the food desert cities in my opinion.

Although Taiyuan is the capital city of Shanxi Province, it is indeed average compared with other provincial capital cities in terms of catering industry development level and dish innovation.

The dishes in most restaurants are monotonous, heavy in oil and salt, have old-fashioned tastes, and lack freshness and brand characteristics.

Moreover, careful people will find that there are not many snacks in Taiyuan City, and most of them have strong flavors and are not suitable for foodies. This has caused Taiyuan City's reputation in the food circle to decline.

Secondly, Nanchang is also a food desert city.

The catering industry in Nanchang is not very developed, and the food styles on the market are relatively simple. Only two local snacks, Nanchang sweet and sour fish and Nanchang oily preserved eggs, are well-known.

Other dishes and tea drinking are not very distinctive and innovative, and lack appeal.

In addition, Nanchang City’s natural environment also affects the development of its food culture.

Factors such as different water and soil, humid climate, etc. make Nanchang's dishes taste astringent compared to other cities, making it less popular among the people.

Furthermore, Lhasa is another food desert city.

Although Lhasa has a relatively unique geographical location and is rich in Tibetan cuisine, the special environmental factors it faces have had a considerable impact on the catering industry.

Special environmental conditions such as high altitude and cold and dry climate have led to a relatively poor supply of raw materials in Lhasa. The dishes are single, heavy and unique in taste. They are only suitable for the tastes of specific groups of people, making it difficult to attract a wider range of consumers.

In addition, Lhasa also has problems such as uneven development levels of the catering industry and poor sanitary conditions, which have also affected the development of the catering industry to a certain extent.

In short, the above cities all have problems such as relatively backward development of catering industry, lack of distinctive food culture, single menu, and dull taste.

The root cause of these problems is that these cities do not pay enough attention to food culture, have few market development opportunities, lack investment in the inheritance and innovation of food culture, and fail to attract enough attention and changes.

In the future, these cities will need more investment, policies, talent and other aspects to continue to develop and develop, so that food culture can flourish here and citizens and tourists can enjoy a richer and more distinctive food experience.

China is a country with a long history and diverse cultures. Each region has its own unique food culture and specialties.

However, in some areas, due to factors such as history, geography, and population, there is a lack of traditional food culture.

I have summarized several cities that are similar to food deserts: 1. Kunming: Kunming is located in Yunnan Province. Because it is located on a plateau and has a cool climate, its food culture has been greatly influenced by foreign influences, and no significant traditional food has been formed.

2. Yinchuan: Yinchuan is located in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. As an area where the Hui people live together, the food culture is mainly halal food, but it has not formed a unique traditional cuisine.

3. Lhasa: Lhasa is the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region. Due to the unique environment and climatic conditions of the plateau, the food is mainly Tibetan traditional food, but there is no unique traditional food.

4. Urumqi: Urumqi is located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Its food culture has been influenced by multi-ethnic cultures and has not formed a relatively unique traditional food.

It should be noted that the above cities do not mean that there is no delicious food, but that they lack obvious traditional food culture.

These cities have rich local specialty snacks and catering culture, and you can taste a variety of different flavors of food.
