If the world really has a clear food map, then there must be no clear national boundaries. Overseas Chinese restaurants are visited by people from all over the world, speaking the same dialect as their hometown. The rice and salt contain memories, and the noodles and soup contain emotions. Chinese restaurants scattered all over the world are an extension of the hometown and a meeting point of the world. The combination of Chinese and Western cuisines blends the taste of the tongue, and the pace of Chinese cuisine has never stopped.

An intimate look at the peoples of the great nation of China - from the mountains, tundra to the busiest cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai. A delight to watch and learn the origins of the food that we take for granted with each mouthful.
