China's late-night bites
In the wake of the overwhelming reception to the food documentary A Bite of China in 2014, many similar shows have been produced and aired in the country to showcase the diversity of China's culinary culture.
While some programs focus on particular types of cuisine like spicy Sichuan food, others channel the viewers' attention to specific topics like seafood or offer profiles of the many chefs who have come to define the modern gastronomic landscape of the country.
Some of the foods featured in these shows are commonly enjoyed during late night suppers, and although they might not be as famous and prevalent as barbecue skewers, they are no less heartwarming and satisfying than grilled meat. Here are three of China's favorite late-night bites.
