In my traveling experience, I think Shijiazhuang and Hangzhou are the food deserts. Usually, cities with developed tourism have more special foods. However, there are exceptions. In China, there are several cities called "food deserts". In the words of netizens, the so-called local food is actually particularly unpalatable.

the fifth place is Shijiazhuang. Shijiazhuang is the capital of Hebei Province, and its recognized specialties are: baked sesame seed cake in a jar furnace, burnt donkey meat, pancake fruit, Baiji steamed bun with meat, red star steamed stuffed bun, baked pork and so on. However, except for the oven-baked sesame cakes, other cuisines are actually not from Shijiazhuang. The baked wheat cake in the jar furnace is too hard, so some people joked that the real Shijiazhuang cuisine turned out to be the Anhui plate full of streets!

the fourth place is Nanjing. As the capital of Jiangsu Province, how can there be no food in Nanjing? Yes, there are, for example, Qinhuai Eight Musts, chicken soup buns, duck blood vermicelli soup, salted duck, Yangtze river swordfish and so on. However, picky diners think that these foods in Nanjing are very unpalatable. In the eyes of most people, Nanjing tastes terrible except mala Tang, rice noodles and hot pot, and steamed dumplings.

the third place is greater Shanghai. Night in Shanghai Night in Shanghai You are a city that never sleeps. The lights are on and the car is singing and dancing. "However, in recent years, with the continuous rise of online celebrity food, the breakfast stalls in old Shanghai are really getting harder and harder to find. In fact, Shanghai has its own specialties, such as ribs rice cake, four-happiness baked bran, grass head circle and so on. But netizens feel that it is not close to the people. And those foods that people like, steamed buns are from Wuxi, boiled chicken is from Shaoxing, and glutinous rice balls are from Ningbo. I can't imagine what is from Shanghai. Therefore, Shanghai has become a "gourmet desert".

the second place is Hangzhou. Hangzhou is a "paradise on earth". How can there be no food? However, the fact is that as a city surrounded by famous dishes, there are still too few delicious foods in Hangzhou. Hua Dan West Lake vinegar fish is really terrible. If it is not so famous, it will definitely not be ordered. As for Dongpo meat, it is not from Hangzhou at all.
