Luoyang’s delicacies 1. Yancai.

Luoyang agarwood, also known as peony agarwood, is a unique traditional dish in Luoyang, Henan.

It belongs to Henan cuisine.

The main ingredients are white radish, sea cucumber, squid and chicken.

The finished product of Luoyang agarwood only saw a peony flower as white as jade with dazzling color floating on the soup surface. The vegetable was fragrant and the flower was fresh, which won the applause of the distinguished guests.

2. Braised tiger carp with green onions.

In the Tang Dynasty, when this dish was served, the fish head would be facing Wu Zetian, with its head raised and fluttering upward.

Because "carp" and "李" are homophonic, Wu Zetian used her chopsticks to press down the fish head, which metaphorically defeated the counterattack of the nobles of Li and Tang Dynasties in one fell swoop.

Later, the poet Li Bai wrote a poem: "The three-foot carp in the Yellow River originally lived in Mengjin. It couldn't become a dragon when it touched its forehead, but it returned to accompany ordinary fish."
