Being another cradle of Huaiyang cuisine, Yangzhou is home to a host of intangible culinary and cultural heritage.

Huaiyang cuisine originated from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 B.C.), flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties (581-907), and culminated in the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). The Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty came to Yangzhou many times and savored diverse Huaiyang dishes.
