Zhenjiang Cuisine
Zhenjiang is also famous for its nice food. It never stops developing its travel-cuisine culture. It keeps the local specialty and adds in some unique food of other places. Zhenjiang cuisine has the famous “three fishes, there odds” - three fishes are the three freshes of Yangtze River, namely hilsa herrings, long-tailed anchovy and channel catfish; three odds are the Salted Pork, spiced vinegar and Pot Noodles.
The local people always go to Yanchun Restaurant if they want to eat the famous Xie Huang Tang Bao (steamed stuffed bun with the ovary and digestive glands of a crab) and the salted pork; but the pot noodles of the three odds can be found everywhere in the city; the well known Jiangxian Street beside the Jinshan Mountain is the best place to enjoy the three fishes.
