Zibo's special barbecues attract thousands of hungry folks

Barbecue grills with delicious food being offered in Zibo city – in East China's Shandong province – went viral on the internet and attracted a large number of university students, in particular, to head out there last weekend and have a taste.

According to the latest data from Zibo Railway Station, the number of people arriving in Zibo has multiplied in recent days – with 12,030 people headed there on March 2, 18,644 coming on March 3 and 25,522 on March 4.

What makes the Zibo BBQ special is the pancake, the scallions and the small stoves. Locals usually wrap all the barbecued treats up in appetizing pancakes.

An authentic Zibo barbecue serves tender meat on a small grill on the table for the customers to control the cooking time themselves, while other cities in China offer the food fully prepared.
