Forget fancy cuts – in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, it’s all about the bones! 🦴 This city devours more chicken carcasses than anywhere else in China, earning its quirky title: 'City of Chicken Carcasses'. But this isn’t just about snacks – it’s a full-blown cultural phenomenon!
💰 Budget-Friendly Bites: For just $2, travelers can dive into a ‘carcass set’ – think tender meat clinging to bones, paired with springy noodles, savory soup, and tangy pickles. Local favorite Lao Siji Restaurant (open since the 1980s!) serves up history in every bite.
🎉 Bone Appétit! Shenyang doesn’t stop at food. There’s a whole museum dedicated to chicken carcass lore and an annual festival where chefs battle for the title of ‘Carcass King’. Think food trucks, live music, and enough broth to fill a swimming pool!
🌏 Why It Matters: This isn’t just a meal – it’s a lesson in sustainability. Shenyang’s clever use of 'leftover' bones shows how culinary traditions can turn scraps into stars. For foodies and culture hunters alike, this is your next must-visit stop!
