The competition took place at the food plaza along the beach in Jinshitan, where the 2019 Dalian International Beach Culture Festival is still ongoing.

"The beautiful natural environment and abundant fresh seafood at the resort complement the exquisite food of the competition," said Liu Jinhong, director of the administrative committee of the Dalian Jinshitan National Tourist Resort.

According to her, the competition plays an important role in shaping local food and beverage brands while accelerating the development of the food service economy in Jinshitan and Dalian Jinpu New Area.
