A gourmet desert refers to an area lacking gourmet culture or gourmet resources. In China, some cities may become food deserts due to historical, geographical and cultural reasons. Let me analyze which cities may become food deserts.

First of all, the geographical location of a city may be an important factor affecting its becoming a gourmet desert. For example, in remote areas such as Xinjiang and Tibet, due to the limitation of climate and geographical conditions, food resources are relatively lacking and lack of diversity, which may lead to the local catering culture is not very rich. In addition, desert cities, railway hub cities, etc. are also easy to become food deserts, because most of these cities are economic and transportation centers, with small population mobility and lack of sufficient incentives for the development of local ingredients and cuisines.

Secondly, the historical and cultural background of the city may also affect its becoming a gourmet desert. For example, the historical and cultural heritage of some emerging cities, development zones and other places may not be profound, and the food culture has not been sufficiently passed down and carried forward. In addition, the economic development of industrial cities, special administrative regions and other places may focus on other aspects, paying little attention to the catering industry, and it is easy to become a gourmet desert.

finally, the population structure of the city may also be one of the factors that affect its becoming a gourmet desert. For example, in some cities with foreign students and migrants as the main population, due to their different dietary preferences and cultural backgrounds, the local catering market may not be able to meet this diversified demand and lack sufficient innovation and development.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons why a city becomes a gourmet desert, not only geographical location, history and culture, population structure, but also factors such as policy, market and society. In the process of urbanization and economic development, we need to pay more attention to carrying forward and inheriting food culture, strengthen the excavation and development of food resources, improve the service quality and innovation ability of the catering industry, and make every city a mouth-watering food feast.
