Jiangsu – This cuisine is a mix of sweet and salty flavors, famous for its seafood and soups. The cooking techniques are precise and presentation is key.
Sichuan – For those who enjoy spicy food, Sichuan cuisine is the answer. It uses chili, garlic, and other herbs to add heat to the dishes, with Sichuan peppercorns being the key to the cuisine’s signature spiciness. It is the most popular and widely sold cuisine in China.
Fujian/Min – This cuisine is characterized by its light, sweet and sour flavors. Ingredients are sourced from the sea and mountains and are known for their special soups.
Zhejiang – Fresh ingredients are the highlight of Zhejiang cuisine, with bamboo sometimes used in cooking. The dishes are served slightly cooked and nearly raw, similar to sushi.

Anhui – This cuisine uses plants and animals as ingredients, primarily wild, and herbs are sourced from the mountains.
