๐ŸฎThe True Diversity of Chinese Cuisine โ€” A Gastronomic Map of Eight Cuisines

Chinese cuisine is divided into eight major cuisines (ๅ…ซๅคง่œ็ณป), each with distinct cooking methods and flavors. Different climates, geographies, and ingredients lead to diverse flavor profiles. As of 2025, the Chinese culinary trend is a "revival of tradition and regionality." These eight major cuisines are once again attracting global attention. ๐ŸŒถ๏ธSichuan Cuisine (ๅ››ๅท่œ)๏ฝœThe Intense Addictiveness of Mala (้บป่พฃ) Sichuan cuisine is the most famous of all Chinese cuisines. Its core ingredient is "mala (้บป่พฃ)," a combination of the numbing aroma of huajiao and the spiciness of chili peppers. Significant dishes include mapo tofu, gongbo chicken, and mala tang, all of which are widely enjoyed in Korea. #MalaTang #MapoTofu #SichuanTravel #ChinaTravel ๐Ÿฒ Cantonese Cuisine (ๅปฃๆฑ่œ)๏ฝœFresh Ingredients and Gentle Flavors Cantonese cuisine is characterized by its light and gentle flavors, taking advantage of the region's abundance of seafood. Significant dishes include dim sum, wontons, and char siu, and its delicate touches have earned it the nickname "French-style Chinese cuisine." #CantoneseCooking #ChinaTravel #GuangdongDimSum #GuangdongFoodTour ๐Ÿœ Shandong Cuisine (ๅฑฑๆฑ่œ)๏ฝœA Northern Cuisine with Rich, Rich Broths and a Strong Smoky Flavor Shandong Cuisine (้ญฏ่œ) is the root of one of the eight major Chinese cuisines, and is characterized by its smoky flavors and rich broths. Thanks to the abundant ingredients found in the Yellow River region, seafood and meat dishes have flourished. Signature dishes include Ba Sao Hai Xian (braised green onions and sea cucumber) and Tang Chu Li Yu (sweet and sour carp). With its oily yet light and harmonious liver, it is considered the standard of northern cuisine. #ShandongCuisine ##ChinaTravel #Lucai ๐Ÿฏ Jiangsu Cuisine (ๆฑŸ่‹่œ)๏ฝœClean and Refreshing Cuisine Developed in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including Yangzhou and Suzhou, Jiangsu cuisine is renowned for its clear, refined liver and precise knife skills. Significant dishes include Yangzhou Fried Rice and Dongpoa (braised duck in soy sauce), and it is also the origin of "Chinese royal cuisine." #Jiangsu #JiangsuCuisine #Yangzhou ๐Ÿต Zhejiang Cuisine (ๆต™ๆฑŸ่œ)๏ฝœThe Aesthetics of Subtle Fragrance and Balance Zhejiang cuisine, originating from the eastern region near Shanghai, is characterized by gentle liver that brings out the natural aromas.

The broths are clear and rich, and the cuisine is characterized by a harmonious blend of "smooth and savory." Significant dishes include Buddha Jumping Over the Wall (ไฝ›่ทณๅข™) and Sea Cucumber Soup (ๆตท็ฆ„). #FujianCuisine #ChinaTravel #ChineseSeafood ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hunan Cuisine (ๆน–ๅ—่œ)๏ฝœThe Passion of Fire and Chili Peppers Hunan cuisine is a passionate cuisine that makes generous use of spicy chili peppers. While it uses fewer spices than Sichuan, it boasts a strong smoky flavor. Signature dishes include xiang larou and hong xiaoyu. This spicy flavor is familiar to Korean palates. #Hunan #HunanCuisine #ChinaTravel ๐ŸŒฟAnhuiCuisine (ๅฎ‰ๅพฝ่œ)๏ฝœNatural Flavors and Depth of Traditional Cooking Anhui cuisine, due to its mountainous location, features many dishes made with wild greens, mushrooms, and vegetables. It's lean and healthy. Significant dishes include Huizhu Tofu and Steamed Wild Mushrooms, emphasizing the natural flavors of each dish. #AnhuiCuisine #ChinaTravel #AnhuiProvince โค๏ธ Eight Regions, Eight Philosophy The spicy flavor of Sichuan, the lightness of Guangdong, the saltiness of Shandong, the cleanliness of Jiangsu, the tenderness of Zhejiang, the savory flavor of Fujian, the fragrant aroma of Hunan, and the natural beauty of Anhuiโ€”all these combine to create the true diversity of Chinese cuisine.
