China is a world-famous gourmet country, and three cities, Chengdu, Shunde and Macau, have been awarded the title of "World Culinary Capitals".

However, there is a city in China that is famous both at home and abroad for its food, but it was not selected. Why?

There is a folk proverb: "Eat in Guangzhou, wear clothes in Suzhou, play in Hangzhou, and die in Liuzhou."

Guangzhou has a long history and is famous all over the world.

The number of teahouses, restaurants, and hotel food stalls is second to none in the country.

It is also famous for its rich varieties, rich tea styles, skillful cooking and beautiful flavor.

Guangzhou has been the main port of the Maritime Silk Road since the 3rd century, China's largest port during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and China's only major foreign trade port during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The historical environment of Guangzhou is very open. The Cantonese cuisine or catering culture developed in this open historical environment is naturally more inclusive than the other eight major cuisines.

Guangzhou people attach great importance to and are particular about their diet, and are famous for their courage to eat, their ability to eat well, and their ability to eat skillfully.

An exaggerated statement is: Cantonese people will eat everything on the table except the four-legged table.

In addition to airplanes, anything that can fly can be eaten.

Guangzhou cuisine is based on the collection of excellent folk delicacies from all over Guangdong Province, constantly absorbing the essence of major Chinese cuisines, drawing on the strengths of Western recipes, and integrating them into one cuisine.

The Cantonese cuisine menu has the largest variety, and new dishes and pastries are launched almost every day to satisfy picky diners.

No chef has ever dared to boast that he knows how to prepare all the famous Cantonese dishes in Haikou.

There are many restaurants in Guangzhou with high density and various grades. They have both Chinese and foreign flavors and are available day and night, which is very convenient.

Within a few hundred meters, there are more than a dozen restaurants of different grades, flavors and styles to choose from.

Shrimp dumplings, rice rolls, boat porridge, barbecued pork buns.

Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.

Cantonese people have the habit of drinking morning tea.

The tea market in Guangzhou lasts from morning to late at night, and Guangzhou people can also drink all the way from morning tea to afternoon tea to night tea.

What Guangzhou people call drinking tea actually means going to a teahouse, where they not only drink tea but also eat snacks.

In addition to filling your belly, you can also talk about friendship and discuss business. This is the eternal lifestyle of Guangzhou people.

Our country is known internationally as the "Culinary Kingdom".

Guangzhou’s food can be called the “culinary kingdom within the culinary kingdom” and a unique “gourmet paradise” in the country and even the world.
