Steamed white fish of Songhua Lake is one of Jilin's famous dishes.
Emperor Qianlong witnessed the heyday of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), which had a stable political environment, developed economy and an unprecedentedly prosperous and booming food and beverage market.
Jianfen, or fried bite-sized noodles, is a local snack of Jilin city. Made from sweet potato flour, the snack originated in the city and was soon introduced to Changchun.
