Salted duck is a famous specialty in Nanjing, which has a long history of more than 1000 years. Nanjing salted duck can be made all year round, and the curing and re-marinating period is short. It is now sold, bought and eaten, and should not be stored for a long time.
This duck skin is white and tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, with the characteristics of fragrant, crisp and tender. The salted duck around the Mid-Autumn Festival has the best color and taste every year, because the duck is made in the blooming season of osmanthus, so it is called "Sweet-scented osmanthus duck".
"White Door Recipe" records: "In August in Jinling, salted duck was the most famous, and everyone thought there was osmanthus fragrance in the meat." Sweet-scented osmanthus duck is "clear and purposeful, and can't get tired of eating for a long time", which is a good wine. It seems to have become a secular etiquette in Nanjing for visitors from home to go out to buy a bowl of salted duck on holidays or weekdays.
Rain flower stone
Nanjing specialty, rich in Yuhuatai, Juhuatai and other places. According to research, the first-class rain flower stone is an agate.
According to legend, when Liang Wudi was in the Southern Dynasties, Master Yunguang, a monk, gave a lecture at Shizigang, and was moved by the rain. When the rain falls into the ground, it becomes countless pebbles as big as chicken eggs and as small as broad beans, hence the name of the rain flower stone, and the stone hill was renamed Yuhuatai.
Rain flower stones produced by Yuhuatai are all kinds of gravels that have been rounded by flowing water. The main components are hard rocks such as Shi Ying sandstone, quartzite, siliceous rock and igneous rock, and minerals such as Shi Ying, chalcedony and opal. The former has no bright color and luster; The latter chemical components such as Shi Ying and chalcedony are silica. Common colors are white, milky white and yellowish. There are also red, purple, green, rose and black. There is also a concentric, annular and spotted agate composed of stripes of different colors.

Nan Jing yun Jin
Nanjing brocade is a traditional jacquard silk handicraft in Nanjing. Its materials are exquisite, its weavers are exquisite, and its patterns are elegant and rich, just like colorful clouds in the sky, so it is called "Yunjin". It is as famous as Song Brocade in Suzhou and Shu Brocade in Sichuan, and it is also called the three famous brocade in China.
The history of Nanjing brocade production can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period at the earliest. In the Ming Dynasty, the brocade technology became more and more mature and perfect, and the local characteristics of Nanjing silk jacquard brocade were formed. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a "Jiangning Weaving Department" in Nanjing, and Yunjin weaving was in its heyday. During this period, Yunjin had many varieties, solemn patterns and gorgeous colors, which represented the highest achievement of Nanjing Yunjin weaving technology. Nowadays, Yunjin is not only exported as high-grade clothing fabrics and costumes for ethnic minorities and performances, but also developed new varieties of daily handicrafts, such as Yunjin tablecloths, mats, quilts, bags, waistcoats, ties, hanging screens and so on, and packed in various cartons according to the needs of consumers. Nanjing Yunjin is a jacquard silk handicraft, which is the first of the "precious arts" in Nanjing, and Sichuan Shujin and Suzhou Songjin are also known as the "three famous brocade". It is characterized by solid texture, rich and beautiful patterns and rich colors, and a large number of gold threads are used to form a splendid and unique style. Yunjin used to be exclusively used by the court, but now it is exported to foreign countries to make high-grade clothing fabrics besides ethnic minorities. Nanjing Yunjin, with as many as 18 colors, is rich and elegant by introducing the main flowers layer by layer.

Baihe
Nanjing's traditional specialty, also known as Shilao Vanadium, is produced in Zhongshan and other places in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing where plants are lush. The skin is white, the meat is plump, sweet and delicate, and it can be stored for a long time.
Don't buy Yunjin. If you want to buy it, most people can't afford it. It's just a listed one. I'm from Nanjing, and I haven't seen Nan until now. The snacks in Confucius Temple are very famous, but they are not necessarily the best in Nanjing. Don't go to the big shops in Father and Son Temple, and some snacks in the stalls are good. I suggest buying some salted ducks. You can try some fresh ones at the hanging duck. That is really delicious. If you want to take it away, the supermarket has vacuum packaging. However, the taste is almost worse than fresh. Most of the rain flower stones in Nanjing market are fake, and that one is not very interesting. If you are interested in this aspect, you can buy it in a specialty store, so you can't go to a stall. Some stones are not only fake, but also contain radioactive impurities, which is not good for your health.
