From mutton(羊肉), fish and chicken to cabbage and potatoes, almost all foods except(除...以外) fruit can be barbecued(烧烤) across China. These days, Zibo's special barbecue has become a must-try of the city. In February this year, some university students went to the city in Shandong province to try barbecue. They took videos of themselves enjoying the food and posted them online. Since then, a lot of students from across the country have started to visit Zibo to try its famous barbecue in groups. After enjoying the barbecue, they also set out to see Zibo's places of interest.
What makes the Zibo barbecue special? The foods are 70-80 percent cooked and then people bring it to the table. Diners can finish cooking it on their own stoves(火炉) and make their DIY food according to personal(个人的) taste. They are served(服务) with pancakes(煎饼), scallions(大葱) and dressing(调料) so that they can eat in much the same way Peking Duck is eaten.
The city has opened 21 new bus lines to take visitors to barbecue restaurants. To make more people come, the city has made a rule: visitors between the age of 18 and 35 can get a discount(折
扣) in some hotels. The city also has a barbecue festival around the May Day holiday. People can visit 10 scenic spots(景点) in the city for free with their train tickets(票) if their final destination(终点) is Zibo.
