China's hit documentary 'A Bite of Dongguan' shows human interest of 'world factory'

KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 -- ‘A Bite of Dongguan’ documentary was recently broadcast on the Internet in China, presenting more than 130 kinds of Dongguan's local ingredients and dishes.

According to a statement, the documentary was planned by the Information Office of Dongguan Municipality, and produced by China's top food and cultural documentary team.

Demonstrating the human interest of the ‘world factory’, it has received nearly 100 million reviews and obtained widespread attention.

Through a series of lively characters and stories, it reveals the diverse food culture of the manufacturing city, displays the well-kept tradition during the city's fast development and shows local people’s attitude for life.

‘A Bite of Dongguan’ is inspired by the city itself, and the people filmed in the documentary. People living in the city, whether local or otherwise, have given Dongguan cuisine new features as being traditional, easy-going, embracing and pragmatic.

The documentary allows locals to find their identity. It also functions as a communication platform for Dongguan to improve city image through local cuisine.

Now, ‘A Bite of Dongguan’ has begun to be released overseas. It is hoped more people in the world will fall in love with Chinese cuisine and understand Dongguan, via its food.
