This kind of duck skin is white and tender, fat but not greasy, fragrant and delicious, with the characteristics of fragrance, crispness and tenderness. The salted duck around the Mid-Autumn Festival every year has the best color and taste, because the duck is made in the season when osmanthus is in full bloom, so it is called "osmanthus duck".

Do not buy brocade. If you want to buy it, most people can't afford it. Just listed. I'm from Nanjing, and I've never seen Nan. The snacks in Confucius Temple are very famous, but they are not necessarily the best in Nanjing. Don't go to the big shop in the father-son temple. There are some good snacks in the stalls. I suggest buying some salted ducks. You can try some fresh ones in the hanging duck. That's really delicious. If you want to take it away, the supermarket has vacuum packaging. However, the taste is almost worse than fresh. Most of the rain stones in Nanjing market are fake, and that kind is not very interesting. If you are interested in this aspect, you can go to a specialty store to buy it, but you can't go to a stall. Some stones are not only fake, but also contain radioactive impurities, which are not good for your health.
