As a foodie who loves to travel, the most indispensable thing when going out and playing is to eat local food. Recently, I went to the historic Nanjing. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, how could I not try the "Jinling Snacks" among the "Four Great Snacks"? Before going there, it can be said that I had done enough strategies. The first stop was to Nanjing Confucius Temple. The Nanjing Confucius Temple snack group is located on the bank of the bustling Qinhuai River and has a lot of delicious food. There are meat and vegetables, sweet and salty, and they are in different forms.

But first let me talk about the two major "characteristics" I encountered when I was shopping and eating in Nanjing.

Representative of heavy taste-living beads!

I believe many friends have heard of living beads. This is a chicken embryo that looks like an egg on the outside, but is actually a developed chicken embryo. There are "whole chicken" or "half chicken". Open it first and take a sip. The fresh salty soup will flow into your mouth and open your stomach. Then take a small plate of salt and pepper, dip it in the meat and eat it. The taste of chicken and egg blends together, which is very wonderful. I don't usually like to eat eggs, but I feel that I can eat several eggs in one bite. The business of this kind of small stall is very good and is also a major feature of Nanjing. I suggest that my friends give it a try.

City specialty-duck!

It is said that people in Nanjing love eating ducks as much as people in Sichuan love spicy food. When I came to Nanjing, I truly felt that there was no waste of salted duck, osmanthus duck blood vermicelli soup, four pieces of duck, duck oil sesame cakes, and duck oil. In Nanjing, the older the shop is, the more fragrant the stewed is, and the more authentic the duck tastes when it is cooked. However, I have eaten several kinds, and I still prefer Nanjing Roast Duck. Because it is made from a stuffy stove, the skin of the roast duck is very crispy, the meat is tender, smooth and juicy. If I eat it dipped in brine, I can eat several more bowls of rice. In Nanjing, there are many time-honored brands selling ducks. Sure enough, the good taste is passed down.

Finally, I want to talk about "Nanjing snacks". It was also the stop I stayed for a long time on my journey-Confucius Temple!

Because of history, Qinhuai used to be a very lively place. Candidates and traffickers from all over the country gathered here, bringing local flavors and immeasurable wealth. Nowadays, such customs and delicacy have been passed down, so today we can taste the delicious food of the "Eight Wonders of Qinhuai". Spiced tea eggs, tofu pudding, mandarin duck sesame cakes, jade buns, osmanthus sweet potatoes, honey lotus roots, etc. are dazzling. The duck crispy sesame cake is golden in color and full in shape, but it is not greasy at all. The dried silk among the scalded silk is as thin as silver thread, loose and not knotted.

After tasting the small shops in ordinary alleys, I went to Nanjing Guoxin Zhuangyuanlou Hotel recommended by a friend. I heard that this is a place where I have received international dignitaries with Qinhuai cuisine. Occasionally, I have to experience an elegant food experience! Entering Jiangnan is full of elegance and the decoration is magnificent. There is Wenxi Restaurant on the first floor of the hotel where you can eat. It is worthy of being a state-banquets-level cooking. The first few snacks were conquered before they even ate them. Peach Blossom Crispy, Plum Blossom Steamed Dumplings, Honey Persimmons Small Points... The appearance is very vivid, giving me a new concept of Jinling snacks. It turns out that Nanjing snacks not only have beautiful environments, but also enjoy both refined and popular tastes. Listening to the ditty song and looking at the small bridge and flowing water, it was so comfortable. There was nothing to say about the environment and the master's craftsmanship. Friends who come to Qinhuai to play must come and give it a try.
