Hangzhou is a beautiful tourist city with many famous cuisines.

Everyone knows West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, fried bell, Dongpo meat and so on. There is a story behind each dish.

However, as a tourist city, Hangzhou cannot support the whole facade with several traditional dishes. To make matters worse, the most famous West Lake vinegar fish has been rated as one of the most unpalatable famous dishes by netizens.

Hefang Street and Louwailou in Hangzhou are also famous tourist attractions, but they don't have a good impression on tourists.

This situation has caused a strange phenomenon: people who come back from Hangzhou appreciate the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, but they shake their heads and despise the famous dishes in Hangzhou.

why is this happening?

Perhaps it is because the food culture in Hangzhou has not kept pace with the tourism industry and lacks new creativity and development. In addition, the cost of living in Hangzhou is increasing year by year, which leads many people to pay more and more attention to high-quality, healthy and nutritious food, and their spending power is getting stronger and stronger.

accordingly, many high-end restaurants and luxury food and beverage outlets have opened in Hangzhou, but their prices are often high and not everyone can afford them.

In a word, Hangzhou's gourmet culture needs more innovation and development to occupy a more important position in the tourism industry.
