SOUNDBITE (Chinese): CORENTIN DELCROIX, French chef
"Here I'm at the Yanji Riverside Market, which boasts a rich variety of local foods and snacks. Let's go and take a look. 
This morning market is bustling even at 7 o'clock. Many people came here to do shopping for the Spring Festival. And even more came here just for breakfast. I've never seen this fish skin-wrapped rice roll before. The fish skin tastes very fresh without any fishy smell, very chewy. Nice. There are various flavors of Korean rice sausages, which can be served as a dish at home. They are very tasty. The rice is quite sticky. And there's a little bit of pig blood mixed in it. 
Stir-fried rice cakes and freshly fried potato pancakes, and various kinds of homemade pickles. Kimchi. There is such a diverse variety of food. 
There are also many homemade chili sauces and fermented soybean pastes. The market is filled with the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The rice meatball is made of sticky rice and fresh pork fillings. The ginseng chicken soup is the specialty dish of China's Korean ethnic group. Each bowl of soup comes with half a chicken, which tastes fresh and is good for health.
After coming to Yanji, we discovered that there are too many tasty foods. We can feel strong festive vibe here. We've also discovered the foods that locals would love to eat during the Spring Festival, which makes me feel the authentic Chinese New Year atmosphere."
