Unique food style in Gongshu

The special geographical location allowed Gongshu District a unique food style. The canal boats traveling between south and north are the epitome of the dazzling gilded fashion. The food here blends with the lifestyles of the people, adding historical heritage and showing the daily interactions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang people. For example, the Shenglihe Food Street brings together more than 30 unique catering businesses, ranging from traditional Hangzhou cuisine to local specialty snacks. The taste on the flowing canal is irresistible.

Gongshu's food also follows the consistent features of Hangzhou cuisine, such as the red and bright Jiangnan slow-fired veal, which is salty, tasty and slightly sweet, the Kangqiao roasted chicken, blended with the essence of dozens of Chinese herbal medicines, the osmanthus-tortoise roasted lamb, originated from the Southern Song Dynasty, made with wine as a source and flower as the spice, and the mulang tofu with fresh fish heads from the Jiangnan water town. We also have jupin shredded radish glutinous rice balls, fish head yellow rice cakes, traditional fried kidney and squid, Hangzhou-style crispy cod, etc. The collision of different combinations of ingredients in the four seasons and the persistent pursuit of Gongshu catering staff create a colorful Gongshu food scene, waiting for gourmets to enjoy.
