The four-day Food Expo caused a sensation in Huai'an, the "World Food Capital", and the Lianshui Pavilion on the third floor of the exhibition hall was very popular. The emerald green Lianshui specialty asparagus chicken cake debuted at the Food Expo and became the new favorite of the entire exhibition hall. Asparagus is a high-end vegetable and health food with extremely high nutritional value, and is known as the "king of vegetables" in the international market. Lianshui County has an existing facility-based asparagus planting base of 20,000 mu. At present, it is vigorously developing deep processing projects around the asparagus industry, and has developed asparagus tea, asparagus beverages, asparagus fruit and vegetable wine, asparagus noodles, asparagus powder, canned asparagus and asparagus snack foods. Because the tender stems of asparagus have delicate texture, soft fibers and delicious flavor, they have been favored by many consumers.

Food industry is one of the four major leading industries that Lianshui focuses on cultivating. It currently has 155 food enterprises, with a relatively complete food industry system such as wine brewing, meat processing, coarse grain beverages, condiments production, and food machinery manufacturing. It has created 4 well-known Chinese trademarks, 12 famous trademarks in Jiangsu Province, and 8 well-known trademarks in Huai'an City, with an annual output value of nearly 20 billion yuan.
