Coordinator of Gastronomy Group of UNESCO Creative City Network Came to Huai'an to Guide the Application Work in 2018

In order to guide Huai'an's application of City of Gastronomy, Mr. Dag Hartman, coordinator of Gastronomy Group of UNESCO Creative City Network was invited to Huai'an from April 4 to 5, 2018. Mr. Hartman visited Jiangsu Food and Pharmaceutical Science College, Huaiyang Cuisine Culture Museum and Hexia Ancient Town, and observed the traditional production techniques of Huaiyang cuisine, such as Qingong meat balls, Chasan—fried twisted noodles, Tangbao—steamed bun stuffed with juicy pork, and braised cattail. 

Mr. Hartman said that Huai'an had the four basic conditions for application. Relevant works should be recognized and supported by the international community. The development of local food should be mutually agreed with the values of the UNESCO. Huaiyang cuisine should expand overseas presence at a faster pace to bring more enjoyment on the tip of the tongue to the people of the world.
