With the Asian Games 2023 set to light up Hangzhou next month, the city is serving up more than just sports excitement! CGTN’s Global Stringer recently teamed up with Tomas, a food-loving vlogger from the Netherlands, to explore the city’s iconic Qinghefang Street – a vibrant recreation of a Qing dynasty-era lane brimming with flavor.
Known for its fresh, sweet-savory dishes, Hangzhou cuisine stole the spotlight as Tomas pedaled past lantern-lit stalls and historic storefronts. He sampled the city’s legendary West Lake fish in vinegar gravy, calling it “a harmony of tangy and tender,” and devoured succulent Dongpo pork – a melt-in-your-mouth braised dish dating back centuries.
Qinghefang isn’t just about nostalgia: Modern foodies flock here for Instagram-worthy snacks like candied hawthorns and delicate beggar’s chicken wrapped in lotus leaves. “It’s like biking through a living museum – but tastier,” Tomas laughed, capturing sizzling wok stations for his followers.
With the Asian Games expected to draw thousands, Hangzhou’s food scene is ready to wow global visitors. Pro tip: Save room for longjing tea-infused desserts!
