An Industrial Town Is Now China’s Hottest Barbecue Spot

The eastern Chinese city of Zibo, mostly known for its manufacturing industries, has emerged as one of the country’s most popular tourist spots — thanks to its barbecue. Favored by swarms of so-called internet influencers, the city in Shandong province has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms. Videos on sites such as Xiaohongshu show thousands of people traveling to the city to savor local barbecue, which they say is wrapped in a pancake, has a “distinct taste,” and offers an immersive dining experience.
