Stewed pigeon is also a must-have dish for New Year's Eve. Stewed pigeon in the Spring Festival means flying high and thriving. The cooking method of this dish is relatively simple. Pigeons, ginseng and medlar are boiled in a casserole.

Knife board incense is an essential dish for New Year's Eve. After several months of curing, bacon and sausage were cooked with steam and fully put in, giving off the salty taste of bacon. It adds a strong local flavor to the New Year's Eve dinner.

Egg dumplings are a must-have dish for Anhui New Year's Eve. Jiaozi, a golden egg, is shaped like an ingot, which means making money into treasure, symbolizing good luck and smooth sailing in the coming year. The key to making egg dumplings lies in the matching of fillings.
