1. Hemp cake: Freshly baked Changzhou hemp cake is yellow in color but not burnt, and its rich and tangy aroma is mouth-watering.

Take a bite and you'll find it's crispy and soft, with thin and heavy skin, sweet and salty, and you can't help but praise it.

If you can have a bowl of Shuanggui Fong tofu soup at this time, it will definitely be excellent.

2. Bean dregs cake: Outside of Changzhou, perhaps no one knows what bean dregs cake is.

It is a kind of food made from Baique cowpea, and the production technology is only spread in Changzhou area.

It is said that when Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he could not forget the fried bean dregs cakes in Changzhou.

3. Crab xiaolongbao: Changzhou people like crab xiaolongbao very much. Only when they are freshly made, steamed and sold can they maintain the fragrant, fat but not greasy taste of crab. Therefore, you must eat xiaolongbao in the past.

The sight of waiting in line is no less than eating Beijing’s Quanjude roast duck.

4. Silver noodles: Changzhou silver noodles are as thin as silk and as white as jade. They look very delicate just by looking at them.

Adding the original soup made from grass chicken, it is really smooth and glutinous in the mouth, with continuous bite, soft and smooth.

If shredded egg skin, coriander, etc. are added to the soup, it will be even more fragrant.

5. Three fresh wontons: Changzhou's three fresh wontons are not big in size, basically one for two or three mouths.

The stuffing is made of pork, herring, and shrimp. Just imagine how chewy it is and it's already mouth-watering.

Egg white is also added when making wonton wrappers, so the wontons are smooth and tender in the mouth.

6. Net oil rolls: Legend has it that the net oil rolls were inspired by Su Dongpo. The chosen net oil is the membrane covering the intestines and the oil, and the filling is bean paste.

When frying, the bean paste will melt at high temperatures, and the net oil can lock the bean paste, ensuring the unique taste of the bean paste rolls that are fat but not greasy. However, it is actually very labor-intensive to get the bean paste.

7. Changzhou shrimp cakes: Changzhou shrimp cakes have a history of nearly 200 years. The authentic Changzhou shrimp cakes have a fluffy and crispy crust, shredded radish and chives wrapped in flour, and of course the protagonist river shrimp.

How many river shrimps are there?

Let’s put it this way, every time you take a small bite, there will always be river prawns in it!

8. Jiu Niang Lantern Festival: Changzhou's Jiu Niang Lantern Festival is so famous. In 1949, Shanghai's "Big World" hung a signboard of "Changzhou Jiu Niang Lantern Festival" to attract customers.

It is made from white yuan rice and sweet wine medicine, steamed, fermented and other processes. The yuanxiao is like jade grains, full of wine aroma and unique flavor.
