Being well known, Shandong is weak at advertising itself.
There are numerous traditional culture identities, like notable ancient emperor Dayu, birds’ expert Gong Yechang, Nobel Literature laureate Moyan, famous poet Sushi and etc.
As well as famous Kite, Chinese New Year Painting comparing with Yangliuqing, thousands years Buddhism statue, unique inkstone, paper-cutting, clay toy. Here is a treasure mine to develop cultural creation and produce. Well, Shandong seems owning everything but a ambitions for being famous.
Featuring of the modest, Shandong food also has been underestimated for long time. Weifang food is insignificant among of internet celebrity food, whereas Weifang food is a profile of Shandong dietary culture considering Shandong people has an obsession with meat and flour.
Thus why do we title the article
Arriving at Weifang, preferably in the morning, the first meal is recommended strongly to have Rou Huo Shao ( a meat pie)
5RMB is enough to feed a man fully, its slight covers encloses tasty meat filling which mixing up dried shrimp, agaric, egg pudding slice, scallion and ginger.
Rou Hou Shao owns high reputation in Weifang folk.
After a delicious breakfast, it’s time to visit Weifang 1st tourism attraction, Shihu Garden.
The garden is a southern style building in north. In 1980s, a popular series of teleplay, pilgrimage to the west, took several important scenes here. One of the main role, Zhubajie (Pig ), became a notable image representing the garden.
Zhubaojie is a pig with magic art. How do the local people love him? going to see the kites every year, it is not hard to find Zhu’s image kites.
Lunch time is prefer to have a few Chao Tian Guo ( a pork chip roll).
because its name includes a word , Guo( means pot), people cannot help to raising curious of what involve about pot at all.
This is a long story. The pork chip roll originated in outdoor bazaar. Siting around a big pot with boiling soup, eaters are chewing what they ordered and drinking a bowl of soup
There are so many ways to cook the pork in Shandong, notably Zhucheng Barbecue.
Zhucheng is a county where born many celebrities in ancient, while mote famous is it barbecue.
In Shandong is hart to control the carbs due to they are cooked too delicious.
Weifang’s local feature, HELE noodle.
HELE noodle possibly is the oldest noodle. You can eat noodle almost everywhere, but weifang’s sauce and condiments is unique definitely.
There is another flour produce, Gaomi stuffed bun
The last but the most important problem is what you can not miss in Weifang.
My suggestion is Weigfang turnip. Weifang’s turnip is not only a vegetable also a popular fruit, especially in winter. It even defeated apple and pear.
The second suggestion is local pastry
