It has strong flavours, especially pungency and spiciness from the liberal use of garlic and chilli peppers, as well as the distinct flavour of Sichuan pepper. Kung Pao Chicken and Yuxiang shredded pork are
two examples. Within Sichuan Province and the neighbouring Chongqing Municipality, which was part of Sichuan Province until 1997, there are numerous local variations. Chongqing, Chengdu, Zigong, and Buddhist vegetarian style are the four sub-styles of Sichuan cuisine.
