Western-region cuisine reigns supreme, and the hometown of Emperor Yan is the cleanest in China. Recently, Baoji City, located in the western part of the Guanzhong region’s 800-li Qinchuan Plain in Shaanxi Province, has had double good news. After being shortlisted in the “2014 China City Ranking – The Top Ten Most Chinese Food Cities Recommended by Global Netizens,” Baoji has also made the list of the “Top Ten Cleanest Cities in China.” The slogan “Come to China’s cleanest city, savor the most authentic Chinese cuisine” became an overnight sensation across the country.
On September 27, 2014, the Publicity Department of Baoji Municipal Committee and the Baoji Cultural Relics and Tourism Bureau will jointly host the Baoji Tourism Experience Tour. The “Must-Visit – Baoji Eco-Friendly & Fresh” team, the “Must-Eat – Baoji Bold Flavors in Food” team, along with 10 media reporters forming the media squad, will visit Baoji’s urban greening projects, the cleanest streets, and local living environments. Through the firsthand experiences of netizens, the campaign aims to reinforce the brand of “China’s cleanest city.” From every vegetable, fruit, and snack, it awakens netizens’ taste buds and draws global attention to Baoji’s cuisine.
Speaking of Baoji’s food, it has earned high praise from every foodie and gourmet. In this grain barn of the Guanzhong region, workers have used their wisdom to create spicy and tangy saozi noodles, thin yet chewy and smooth hand-pulled noodles, as well as dry, flaky, white, and fragrant Wenwang Guokui flatbread. After sampling the cuisines of Sichuan, Shandong, and Guangdong, tasting Western-region cuisine feels like a return — and even better, a perfect interpretation of “the most Chinese” food.
