早茶，开启一天的美好模式

The dietary culture in Zhongshan features Lingnan regional cuisine of Guangdong， which is the paradise for those who expect a slow⁃pace and relaxing morning. Walking through the highways and byways of Zhongshan， you could hardly resist the enticement of smells and flavors coming from all around you. If you ask Zhongshan locals what wakes them up each morning， yum cha would be most peoples answer.

Yum cha， which literally means morning tea， is a traditional practice and social activity among Zhongshan residents. Yum cha is also like a brunch， but you can eat and drink non⁃stop from morning to noon. For a local， going to have a cup of tea with a range of dim sum is the best way to start a day.

The tradition of yum cha dates back to the periods of Emperors Xianfeng and Tongzhi. People gathered in a tea house where tea and dim sum are served， such as Shangxiang seto powder （濑粉）， Shiqi roast pigeon （烤乳鸽）， shrimp dumplings， rice noodle rolls with soy sauce， steamed buns with pork filling and so on. The variety of yum cha represents peoples improving life quality.

After introducing the yum cha culture， it seems that I have heard the sound from my empty stomach， and I cannot wait to treat myself to these yummy foods.
