Confucius Temple, a cultural landmark in Nanjing, is not only a gathering place for literati and artists, but also a paradise for food. Stroll through the quaint streets with a mouth-watering array of food stalls. So, among the many delicacies, what are the snacks that should not be missed and will not be missed?
First of all, I have to mention Nanjing's special duck blood vermicelli soup. This soup is made with fresh duck blood and tender vermicelli, and is served with a unique seasoning that is delicious and has a long aftertaste. You can feel the tenderness of duck blood and the delicacy of vermicelli in every bite, which is a unique flavor of Nanjing.
In addition, the sugar gourd of Confucius Temple is also a delicacy not to be missed. Strings of crystal clear sugar gourds, wrapped in a thin layer of sugar coating, sweet but not greasy, sweet and sour. Take a bite, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which can not only satisfy the enjoyment of taste buds, but also feel the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional craftsmanship.
In addition, Nanjing's characteristic salted duck is also one of the signature dishes of Confucius Temple. The saltwater duck is made from local fat ducks, which are carefully marinated and cooked, with thin skin and tender meat, and delicious taste. Paired with a bowl of hot duck soup, it is even more delicious.
Finally, I have to mention Nanjing's famous night market snack - stinky tofu. Although the name sounds a little "stinky", it tastes fragrant and delicious. The specially fermented tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is even more addictive with chili sauce and garlic paste.
At Confucius Temple, these snacks are unmissable. They not only represent the traditional culture and flavor of Nanjing, but also make you forget to return. Whether it's tasting local specialties or experiencing traditional crafts, you'll find something for everyone here.
