known for its fresh, light, and clean flavors, shaped by the province\u2019s close connection to both mountains and sea.<\/p><p data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"693\">Cooking follows the principle of using ingredients in season, with less oil and less salt, allowing the natural taste of each ingredient to stand out.<\/p><p data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"693\">Seafood and mountain produce are both central, and dishes are often simple in technique but rich in freshness.<\/p><p data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"693\">The overall style is refreshing rather than heavy, suitable for all ages and generally considered health-friendly.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1223\">Tea and Local Alcohol<\/h3><p data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1429\">Tea culture runs through daily life in Fujian.<\/p><p data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1429\">Wuyi rock tea is known for its deep, lingering taste, while Anxi Tieguanyin is lighter and aromatic.<\/p><p data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1429\">Tea is part of everyday hospitality and leisure.<\/p><p data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1644\">Local alcohol is mild, with Hakka rice wine and Fuzhou red rice wine as typical examples.<\/p><p data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1644\">These wines are low in alcohol, often served warm, and sometimes used in cooking to add aroma rather than strength.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1664\">Dining Customs<\/h3><p data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1993\">Meals are usually shared around a round table, symbolizing unity.<\/p><p data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1993\">When toasting, people hold the glass with both hands as a sign of respect, and drinking is generally moderate without forced toasts.<\/p><p data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1993\">Festival meals often include symbolic dishes, such as Taiping Yan for peace and safety, and fish to represent abundance.<\/p><h2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"50\">What to Eat in Fujian: Regional Must-Try Dishes<\/h2><p data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"233\">Fujian\u2019s food varies clearly by region.<\/p><p data-start=\"52\" data-end=\"233\">Below are the most representative local dishes, grouped by area, with straightforward flavor descriptions to help you choose what to try.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"235\" data-end=\"305\">Southern Fujian Cuisine (Xiamen \/ Quanzhou \u2013 fresh, lightly
