Chinese food is colorful, varied, delicious, and nutritious. Chinese people cares not only about the taste of the food, but also about its color and smell. Food in different places has different flavors. Beijing food is quite oily and salty; Shanghai food is sweet and light; Sichuan food is spicy and hot; and Cantonese food is fresh and tender. What's more, there are some popular local snacks. For example, Beijing Roast Duck has a good reputation for its tender meat, while the steam buns in Shanghai are well known for their juicy ingredients.

　　中国菜色彩多样，种类繁多，美味可口，营养丰富。中国人不仅关心食物的味道，还关心它的颜色和气味。不同地方的食物有不同的味道。北京菜又油又咸;上海菜又甜又淡;四川菜是麻辣的;广东菜又新鲜又嫩。而且，还有一些地方流行小吃。例如，北京烤鸭以其鲜嫩的肉而闻名，而上海的馒头则以其多汁的配料而闻名。
