Game meats are not commonly cooked outside northern and western China, as they are not widely available (apart from in places such as Yunnan, where deer are plentiful, and Hong Kong, where a sophisticated clientele expect restaurants to source exotic ingredients). In Hebei, venison is served as an occasional treat.
