By chance, I made a short stay in Nanjing. My first thought is to visit the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, which is located in Gong Yuan Street on the north bank of Qinhuai River in Qinhuai District. Walking at night is especially feeling. Pass through the archway of Confucius Temple and feel the nightlife of this ancient capital in the traffic.
Confucius Temple, built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is a group of large-scale ancient buildings. In the development history of Nanjing for several years, many aristocratic families have gathered nearby, so it is called "Six Dynasties Gold Powder". Hundreds of famous military strategists, politicians and writers such as Fan Li, Zhou Yu, Wang Dao, Xie An, Li Bai, Du Mu and Wu have created immortal achievements here, writing a chapter that will be told for generations. Walking on the pedestrian street, I am most interested in the special snacks here, such as old Nanjing yogurt and crab yellow buns. According to friends, Confucius Temple provides more than 200 kinds of traditional foods and snacks. The food culture of Confucius Temple has a long history, which can be traced back to the Six Dynasties, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
I have been pursuing delicious food tirelessly. Qinhuai snacks rank first among the four famous snacks in China. Let's start with four snacks: Nanjing Confucius Temple Qinhuai snacks, Suzhou Xuanmiaoguan snacks, Shanghai Chenghuang Temple snacks, and Changsha Huogong snacks. I wonder if you have eaten all of them. Qinhuai snacks are various. When I arrived at the Confucius Temple, I saw that every small shop was basically full of diners. When I found a family that looked pleasing to the eye, I went in and planned to sit down and have a good taste of this famous snack.
This shop is open for sale. Different snacks are lined up in a long queue, and the price is clearly marked in front of the booth. The rich aroma makes people suddenly want to eat something. Steamed dumplings, steamed tea dumplings, braised duck blood soup, steamed black-bone chicken, fried stinky dry chicken, plum blossom steamed cake and Shi Yuhua glutinous rice balls are all famous snacks in Qinhuai.
Speaking of soup packets, we all know that Goubuli in Tianjin also has soup packets in Kaifeng, but when it comes to soup packets in Nanjing, it is a little different from the other two. The buns here are relatively large, 2.5 1 yuan each. I'll give you a straw first, suck up the soup with the straw, and then eat the rest of the stuffing slowly. It's very satisfying.
The traditional Qinhuai snack, heavy oil and heavy sugar, has been improved by modern people and is very suitable for human taste buds. The snacks in Confucius Temple are exquisite in Nanjing, paying attention to color, fragrance, taste and shape, which makes people feast their eyes. After eating delicious snacks, take a walk along Qinhuai River and feel the charm of this ancient capital of the Six Dynasties under the light.
