Guo Zao - local featured breakfast
Wuhan has been an important trade center for a long time. Thousands of businessmen from all over the country come through the city every year, bringing both goods and traditions from their own regions to Wuhan. Therefore, folk customs and food flavors in Wuhan are a blending of the northern and southern China styles. Traders who hurry to markets in the morning don't have enough time to prepare breakfast at home and they often buy snacks at street food stalls. It became a custom for local people to call it "Guo Zao" (which simply means to have breakfast). If you have a plan to stay in the city, instead of eating western breakfast at your hotel, following the locals' habit of Guo Zao will give you a chance to learn more about the everyday life of the Chinese. In front of a food stall, you may feel amazed at the skillful performance of vendors. They can tailor the flavor to each customer's taste preference. Of course, most westerners can't express their demands in Chinese. The easiest way is to follow the crowds' choice. Hu Bu Xiang is one of the famous breakfast snacks streets.
Wuhan is a paradise for those who live to eat rather than eat to live. Wuhan snacks are famous throughout the country.
