Why is Hangzhou called a gourmet desert?

What about the desert?

Hangzhou is known as "paradise on earth" and "food capital of the world", but with the development of the city, population growth and the prosperity of tourism, the food scene in Hangzhou is facing a serious problem of "food desert". In order to solve this problem, the Hangzhou municipal government offered a reward of 1 million to find innovative and practical food solutions.

Hangzhou is a city famous for its beautiful natural scenery and rich cultural history, and it is also one of the most representative cuisines in South China. The following are some famous cuisines in Hangzhou:

1. West Lake Vinegar Fish: It is one of the traditional famous dishes in Hangzhou, with carp and grass carp as the main ingredients and vinegar sauce.

2. Shrimp in Longjing: It is a famous dish fried with shrimp and local Longjing tea. It is fragrant and delicious, and it is one of the characteristics of Hangzhou.

3. Xiaoshan Lion Head: Lion Head is a traditional meatball dish, which is fluffy, fresh and nutritious.

4. Trust-mart Fried Steamed Buns: This Hangzhou cuisine is a variation of the traditional steamed buns, with a fried yellow appearance and delicious juice and meat stuffing inside, which has a very special taste.

Besides, there are many other cuisines in Hangzhou, such as Dongpo pork, noodles with scallion oil, beggar chicken, Osmanthus Jelly, etc. Each dish has its own unique taste and cooking method, which is worth tasting.

If Hangzhou succeeds in getting rid of the food desert, it will bring people rich and colorful food experience and food culture, attract more tourists and investors, and promote the economic and cultural prosperity of the city. At the same time, it can also provide reference experience and enlightenment for other cities to solve food problems.
