Come to Baiyun district and embark on a culinary adventure in spring! Here are some recommended specialty foods!

Roast Suckling Pig

The roast suckling pig holds a special place in the culinary traditions of Guangdong province. It is not only a common dish at festive banquets but also a sacred offering to commemorate ancestors during Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day. The pork skin attains a caramel hue from the gentle heat of a charcoal fire, while the meat releases a unique aroma with each succulent drip. The authentic roast suckling pig glimmers with a crimson hue, offering a crisp exterior and succulent interior that tantalizes the taste buds.
