The best thing about travel is trying local delicacies! Here are a few of the dishes we loved in east China's Nanjing: steamed hairy crab, sweet lotus root with osmanthus jam, sticky rice cakes with osmanthus jam, cute little sticky rice balls in a red bean and fermented sticky rice dessert, and fried dumplings. Yes, we have a sweet tooth!
