The cuisine of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province, is more famous for its "small eats" than its main courses. These streetside snacks are about as famous as the city itself, which was the center of government for six ancient dynasties, the earliest dating back to the Three Kingdoms from AD 220-280. The most famous food centers in Nanjing are at the Confucius Temple and Hunan Lu, and these bustle with visitors everyday.

Nanjing Fuzimiao, also known as the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, is a large ancient architectural complex. It is also the birthplace of Nanjing snacks. It has been the snack center of the city since the Six Dynasties (220 or 222–589), which carry more than 1000 years of history. The small area owns more than 20 restaurants, including many well-known restaurants like Gui Guang Ge, Jiang You Ji and Yong He Yuan. Besides, it has two gourmet festivals every year, attracting numerous visitors. [Photo/bbs.fengniao]
