What Locals Eat for Breakfast in | Nanjing, China

This is one of Nanjing's busiest local morning markets. Before most of the city is fully awake, locals are already lining up for black sticky rice rolls, fresh baozi, salted duck, sesame bread, sweet rice cakes, lotus root snacks, and many other everyday breakfast foods. Some stalls sell out within minutes. Others have customers waiting before the first batch is even ready. From familiar breakfast staples to foods found only around Jiangsu, this is what an ordinary morning looks like in Nanjing.
