The first training studio for Cantonese cuisine chefs in Guangdong was established in Conghua in September 2018. Since then, Conghua has established a number of training bases at the provincial and municipal levels for Cantonese cuisine where non-profit training is provided to enhance the overall quality of Cantonese cuisine chefs in the region.

The Cantonese cuisine chef project has become an important link in Conghua's rural revitalization as well as part of the local tourism industry and a promotion of Cantonese food culture to the public.
