In different towns and cities， specially prepared delicious food is always on offer at this time of year. As well as being steeped in local cultures， it's a chance for visitors and local residents to really wake their taste buds to 2022. Can you smell the flavors？

It's cold in Zaozhuang city， in East China's Shandong Province，but thousands have come out to eat！

At Taierzhuang Ancient Town， the annual Pan Cake Festival gives visitors a chance to sample the many culinary delights on offer and learn how to make the pancakes themselves. Qin Ge， visitor to Taierzhuang Pancake Festival， said， “Vegetable pan-cake is a very special local food. When I eat such traditional food on the first day of 2022， I feel so happy. Come here and try it！”

The theme of the celebration is “Special Zaozhuang-Warm Ancient Town". Visitors also get to enjoy local performers， and the unique atmosphere of ancient town.

Over in Xi'an， in Northwest China' s Shaanxi Province， the streets are packed with New Year snacks.

Most famous is the “Rose Mirror Cake”. It may only be 6 centimeters across， but the smell and the taste cannot fail to please. It's an ideal way to end a day touring China's ancient capital.

每年的這個時候，在不同城鎮，特別準備的美食已經在銷售。除了沉浸于當地文化之外，這也是游客和當地居民真正喚醒他們2022年味蕾的一個機會。你聞到味道了嗎？

在中國東部山東省的棗莊市，天氣寒冷，但是數千人已經出來吃東西了。

在臺兒莊古鎮，每年一度的煎餅文化節給了游客一個機會，品嘗許多在售美食以及學習如何自制煎餅。

參加臺兒莊煎餅文化節的游客Qin Ge表示：“蔬菜煎餅是一種非常有地方特色的食物。2022年第一天，當我吃到這樣傳統的食物時，我感到如此開心。你也來這里試試吧！”

慶祝會的主題是“非常棗莊，溫暖古城”。游客還可以欣賞當地演員的表演，享受古城獨特的氛圍。

在中國西北陜西省的西安市，街上到處是新年小吃。

最有名的是玫瑰鏡糕。它的寬可能只有6厘米，但是氣味和口味讓人很滿意。在中國這個古都玩一天是很完美的一種方式。

A Xi'an resident said， “Rose Mirror Cake is about the same size as a small mirror we might carry with us. That's where it gets its name.”

It's a fairly simple cake to make. But there's a traditional way to eat it， with different seasonings like rose sauce and sesame.

One enterprising vendor has even taken the concept further， by adding cartoon characters to each cake. It's a marketing ploy that seems to work.

Xitang ancient town of East China's Zhejiang Province also has a wide variety of local delicacies to tempt visitors.

A visitor to Xitang town， said， “We came here to feel the atmosphere.”

A visitor said， “We want to taste all the different snacks here.”

Stall owners vie for customers， and make the snacks， as hungry shoppers look on.

Some of the recipes are decades， or even centuries old.

“This is the snack we had when we were small children. I want to let my daughter have a try， " said a tourist.

Many people have been before， but find the food to be so good that they choose to come back again and again.

Lou Jinwei， visitor to Xitang， town， said， “It's my second time here but my wife has been five times. The view is beautiful and it's a very meaningful place for us.”

The couple first met in Xitang ancient town last year. This year， they were married. Great food and a fantastic setting-two things that help make so many destinations in China stand out as unforgettable holiday destinations.

西安市民表示：“玫瑰鏡糕的大小和我們可以隨身攜帶的鏡子差不多。它就是因此而得名。”

這種糕點的制作非常簡單。但是吃的時候有一種傳統的吃法，蘸玫瑰醬和芝麻等不同佐料。

一位有膽量的攤販甚至進一步利用這種概念，將卡通人物添加到每個糕點里面。這種營銷策略似乎起作用了。

中國東部浙江省的西塘古鎮也有吸引游客的各種地方風味小吃。

到西塘古鎮游玩的一位游客表示：“我們來這里感受這兒的氣氛。”

一名游客稱：“我們想品嘗這里不同的小吃。”

攤販爭相招攬顧客，在饑餓的購物者在旁觀看時制作小吃。……
