City Walks in Foshan

Urban Getaway with the Local ｜过舞瘾，仲要食过瘾

关于佛山

说到佛山，大家可能最优先想到的是叶问、黄飞鸿、李小龙等，其祖籍及师承亦在佛山。世界上流行的蔡李佛拳、洪拳、咏春拳等不少拳种和流派其根都在佛山，有武术之乡之称。佛山肇迹于晋，得名于唐，是岭南广府文化的发源地和兴盛地之一，有粤剧、陶瓷、剪纸、秋色等传统文化，是中国四大名镇之一，与景德镇、汉口镇、朱仙镇齐名。2021年也获得最佳幸福城市，非常值得活动之余多待上几天！

但在Hop The Bay期间，吃更是游佛山必不可少的一环！

佛山市是珠江三角洲的“美食之乡”，粤菜发源地之一，属粤菜之中的广府菜，用料丰富，选料精细，技艺精良，清而不淡，鲜而不俗，嫩而不生，油而不腻。擅长小炒，要求掌握火候和油温恰到好处，还兼容许多西菜做法，讲究菜的气势、档次。顺德更被联合国教科文组织授予世界“美食之都”称号。

HTB筹备小组也会附上佛山、顺德周边的美食、City Walk路线~ 来了佛山就步调放慢，随意一点，开心就完了！

About Foshan

When it comes to Foshan, what people might think of first are figures like Ip Man, Wong Fei-hung, and Bruce Lee, whose ancestral homes or lineagers were in Foshan. Many popular boxing styles and schools in the world, such as Cai Li Fo Boxing, Hong Boxing, and Wing Chun Boxing, originated from Foshan, earning it the title of 'The Hometown of Martial Arts'. Originated in Jin Dynasty, Foshan got its name in Tang dynasty. It is one of the birthplaces and thriving places of Lingnan Cantonese culture. It has traditional cultures such as Cantonese opera, ceramics, paper-cutting, and Foshan Qiuse Carnival (the Autumn Carnival). It is one of the four famous towns in China, on par with Jingdezhen City, Hankou Town, and Zhuxian Town. It also won the title of the Best Happy City in 2021 and is well worth staying for a few more days during the activities!

But during Hop The Bay, food is what Foshan is all about!

Foshan City is the "hometown of cuisine" in the Pearl River Delta and one of the birthplaces of Cantonese cuisine. It belongs to the Cantonese cuisine of Guangfu style, with rich ingredients, fine selection, excellent skills, clear taste but not bland, fresh but not vulgar, tender but not raw, and oily but not greasy. It is good at stir-frying, requiring precise control of heat and oil temperature. It is also compatible with many Western cooking methods and pays attention to the momentum and grade of the dishes. Shunde town, which it's in Foshan City, has even been awarded the title of the "Gourmet Catipal" of the world by UNESCO.

The HTB team will also attach the food and City Walk routes around Foshan City and Shunde Town. Once you come to Foshan, slow down your pace, be casual and just have fun!
