In my mind, the most impressive food desert city is Shenyang. This city is located in a vast and populous area in Northeast China. As the capital city of Liaoning Province, it has a strategic location adjacent to the ocean and rich historical and cultural heritage. However, it has been criticized for having few delicious food. .

In Shenyang, apart from traditional Northeastern cuisine and delicious seafood, it is difficult to find other delicious food. Compared with the diversified cuisine in other cities, Shenyang's cuisine suffers from a single and mediocre evaluation. Even Northeastern cuisine exhibits a certain level of blandness and monotony.

Such a situation does not quite match Shenyang’s historical and cultural background and regional environment. During the Battle of Liaoshen, Shenyang City experienced serious damage, and its food culture gradually declined thereafter. In terms of geographical environment, Shenyang is adjacent to the ocean, has a cool climate, and is rich in local agricultural and animal husbandry resources, but these advantages have not been truly utilized.

Of course, Shenyang’s food desert is not absolute. There are also some niche foods such as various barbecues, snacks and noodles that can provide some choices for the appetite. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the promotion and inheritance of these niche delicacies, and some varieties are facing the risk of disappearing rapidly.

For a city, food is undoubtedly an important cultural element. It is closely related to local history, climate, geography and other aspects. Although the current food situation in Shenyang may not be satisfactory, as a city with a long history and rich cultural heritage, Shenyang should have stronger determination and courage in promoting and exploring food, making local food culture an important pillar of urban development. .
