Jinhua

Jinhua ham, China's most celebrated dry-cured ham, originates in this large city in central Zhejiang Province, where the Jinhua River runs through a basin ringed by mountains on three sides. The city traces its administrative history to 266 CE and carries the designation of a national historic and cultural city. In medieval times, the river network here fed supplies to the southern end of the Grand Canal, linking Jinhua to the broader waterways of eastern China.
