Activity series 'The Great Life in Wenjiang' held at Beilin Greenway

A series of activities on the subject of "enjoying the greenway, learning about civilization and tasting delicacies" were organized at Beilin Greenway in Wenjiang district, Southwest China's Chengdu city on Nov 23.

The event aimed to show off the contributions of commerce in the creation of the three urban brands of City of Delicacies, City of Music and City of Exhibitions for Wenjiang and enhance people's sense of present well-being by exhibiting the transformation of diet over the past 40 years.

Hosted by the commercial bureau of Wenjiang and the people's government of Hesheng town, the event was comprised of many activities, including the opening of a food festival in Lujiatan Wetland and the display of special cuisines.

One of the highlights was the food festival, part of Wenjiang's fashion week, which started on Nov 10. The festival not only provided a feast for visitors but evoked memories of childhood through flavors.

During the event, a total of 10 special cuisines, including rice noodles, bean jelly, shrimp-flavored wontons and traditional noodles, were named the most representative foods of people's childhoods.
