ZHENJIANG

Celebrating soy, vinegar

Zhenjiang is a star in China's culinary firmament for its legendary black rice vinegar. But every year ahead of the Spring Festival, people in the Jiangsu provincial city buy large amounts of soy sauce before the Spring Festival. On Saturday, people lined up in front of Hengshun, a century-old brewing corporation better-known as a vinegar producer, waiting for the opening hour. A four-day campaign extolling the virtues of soybeans and the city's famous vinegar is underway.
