Shanghai's specialties are as follows:

Cucurbita melo, which has been planted for more than a hundred years, is a traditional specialty in Shanghai. Cucumber is fresh, tender and fragrant, crisp and refreshing. It is an excellent dish with good color and fragrance in families, restaurants and hotels, and enjoys the reputation of "plant philosopher". Cucumber is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition. Besides the vitamins needed by the human body, it also contains various nutrients such as phosphorus, iron and calcium that are easily absorbed by the human body. It also has the functions of invigorating the middle warmer, invigorating qi, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, detoxifying and killing insects, and has a good curative effect on hypertension, coronary heart disease and obesity in the elderly.

The spiced beans in Chenghuang Temple are a unique snack that everyone knows. If you don't taste the spiced beans in the Old Town God Temple, you won't be in Shanghai. This is the unanimous comment of all Chinese and foreign tourists who come to Chenghuang Temple. The spiced bean skin of Chenghuang Temple is thin and fluffy, the salt and frost are even, and it is chewy and soft, and it tastes delicious in the mouth.

Narcissus is a treasure among flowers that people love. Narcissus is characterized by less natural branching of bulbs and strong fragrance, which is not as good as other narcissus. The petals are as white as jade, shaped like a disc, and the heart is golden, just like a wine lamp, so it has the reputation of "golden lamp and silver platform". When the narcissus blooms, its verdant leaves and graceful pedicels set off the crystal-clear flowers like Chun Xue, and the fragrance is refreshing, giving people a simple, elegant, noble and refined aesthetic feeling. Narcissus is characterized by fewer natural bulbs, strong fragrance, and persistent after months, which is inferior to narcissus elsewhere.

Nanxiang steamed buns are famous all over the world for their thin skin, large stuffing, juicy taste, tender meat and beautiful shape. They have become a must-have in Jiading and won the honor of being an old Chinese brand year after year.
