If you want to try some appetizers in Guangxi, Wuzhou paper-wrapped chicken is a good choice. To cook the dish, the chicken will be first chopped into pieces and soaked in sauces for several hours. Then the well-seasoned chicken will be wrapped in Yukou paper, a special local paper made from bamboo and fried in peanut oil. This dish has a long history and it is listed as Guangxi's intangible cultural heritage in 2016. /VCG Photo
