As we all know, Nanjing has a very long history and is known as the "Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties". When traveling to Nanjing, in addition to checking out the famous historical monuments, there are also many small alleys in Nanjing that are worth visiting. Not only does it have a long history , has a profound cultural heritage, and now contains many Nanjing specialty delicacies and snacks. "Mingwa Gallery" is one of the streets that is deeply loved by tourists.
Mingwa Gallery is located in Qinhuai District, Nanjing. It is a street with a total length of about 500 meters. It was named because during the Ming Dynasty, this street was a place for Mingwa business. Mingwa was the place where Mingwa was sold in ancient times. A kind of glass.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mingwa Corridor was an important commercial road with many shops and was extremely prosperous. Mingwa Corridor was marked on the map of the Ming Dynasty, which shows its importance. It is still used today. Bustling, especially the food and snacks on this street.
There are two gourmet snack bars on this street that are particularly eye-catching, namely "Jinwei Chestnut" and "Jin Hongxing Duck Restaurant".
I believe many people have heard of this sentence: "No duck can leave Nanjing alive" and "Jinling duck delicacies are the best in the world". It can be said that Nanjing people like to eat duck deeply. There are also statistics that at least 100 million ducks are eaten every year, and "Jinhongxing Duck Shop" is definitely a favorite shop among locals and tourists; and speaking of chestnuts, autumn is the season for eating chestnuts, "Golden Flavored Chestnuts" "It's also well-deserved, with long queues forming every day.
Golden Chestnut only blooms in autumn and is closed the rest of the year. Whenever it opens, this scene is always in front of us. It is not only loved by locals, but also attracts many tourists. People come here because of its reputation. The reason why it is so popular has a lot to do with the taste and quality of its chestnuts.
Jinwei Chestnut is different from many chestnut shops in Nanjing. It has its own personality. It is the only one with no branches and sells in limited quantities. Each person can only buy chestnuts for 50 yuan, which is 23.8 yuan per catty. Cash only.
I come here almost every autumn to buy a pound of chestnuts to eat. Their chestnuts have thin, plump, fresh shells and are very easy to peel.
In addition, freshly fried chestnuts are relatively hot and hot to the touch. It is recommended to wait 5-10 minutes before eating them for a better taste. They taste sweet and soft, and I think about them every time I hold the golden chestnuts. , being able to eat these delicious chestnuts in autumn will not disappoint the charming autumn colors.
There is a duck shop about 100 meters away from Jinwei Chestnut. It can be said that it is as popular as Jinwei Chestnut. It is the "Jinhongxing Duck Shop". This is not only a century-old store, but also It's an Internet celebrity store, and it's the only one with no other branches. Every time it opens, there's a long queue, so business shouldn't be too good.
Ducks include salted duck, roast duck and some duck gizzards, duck necks, duck tongues and other snacks. They can be bought cut into pieces or whole. If they are bought whole, they can also be vacuum packed, but never If any preservatives are added, vacuum packaging is more suitable for taking away and giving away, but it is not recommended to store it for too long, otherwise the taste will not be good.
