First, because it is close to the sea, Dandong is rich in aquatic products and food culture, which can be called a country of food.
When it comes to Dandong, I believe people in many places are unfamiliar with it. After all, the city is really too low-key. Dandong, a local city in Liaoning Province, is quite famous, but compared with the whole country, it doesn't have much characteristics, because there are not many characteristic buildings in this city, mainly seafood, and many coastal areas in the country don't lack one.
Dandong, Liaoning Province is located near the sea. The seafood here is really rich, but the strange cooking methods are mainly barbecue. After all, local northerners like to eat barbecue, so seafood barbecue has become a local signboard in Dandong.
Second, because of a seafood feast, this quiet little city has become a seafood paradise that everyone yearns for in their hearts.
Perhaps many people will wonder why a seafood banquet made the food of this small city be given to the whole world by CCTV Amway. Maybe it's because this seafood feast is really exaggerated! "1400 swimming crabs, plates of sea cucumbers piled up at random, and shrimps that need two people to carry in pots accurately show the correct way for children to eat seafood by the sea." This is CCTV's expression of this seafood feast.
Seafood banquets are indeed common, but throwing seafood like this everywhere is really capricious, so CCTV has to let the world know that we have a place where there are too many seafood.
