Located in the central of Guangxi, Liuzhou is a heavy industry city in Guangxi. Compared to other locals in other cities in China, Liuzhou people seem to have a more thorough understanding about the flavors. The northerners prefer salty taste; Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan are famous for their spicy; while Cantonese like sweet, bitter, but mostly keep away from acid, spicy. Only in Liuzhou, their food system includes all the taste: acid, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty.

N0.2: the taste of the time
In order to preserve food, ancestors have explored a variety of methods, such as cured, air-dried, smoked etc, which makes the food taste better. Today, these secondary manufacturing foods by time still affect the daily diet of the Chinese people, and bear a special feeling of the Chinese nation.

Suansun (Sour Bamboo Shoots): this unique food brings together the essence of the cuisine of Liuzhou. Its acid crisp taste and a rich and exotic taste experience make an unforgettable experience, and become popular after the broadcast of the A Bite of China.
