Guilin cuisine is well-known throughout China. Guilin cuisine has distinct characteristics, combining the spicy and sour Hunan cuisine with the light Cantonese cuisine. Home-style stir-fries are mostly influenced by the Hunan cuisine. Spicy and sour flavors are almost always present in every meal. Restaurants naturally choose to cater to the tastes of Guilin people first. Of course, as Guilin tourism continues to develop, there are more and more varieties of Guilin cuisine. Other regional cuisines such as Huaiyang cuisine, Minnan cuisine, Chaoshan cuisine, Northwest regional cuisine, and Guangxi minority flavor dishes have also become popular in Guilin.
