I have always said that Huai'an has a lot of food, although it is more than two hours away from Nanjing by car. I have always been in the future.
The first time I went to Huai'an, I walked into the ancient town of Hexia, hidden in this ancient town, except for the local elderly, more of some authentic food.
The most authentic minced meatballs, the tea buds of CCTV, the super delicious crab yellow soup bag and the soy sauce made by hand.
This is really a super happy stroll to eat and eat.
