What is buddha jumps over the wall?

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a traditional Chinese soup that is often considered a luxurious and special dish. It typically contains up to 30 different ingredients, including various types of meat such as chicken, duck, pork, and seafood like abalone, scallops, and shrimp. The name "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" comes from the legend that the aroma of the soup was so enticing that even Buddha himself would jump over a wall to get a taste.

The soup is typically slow-cooked for several hours to allow the flavors of the meats and ingredients to meld together. It is often served at banquets, weddings, and other special occasions as a symbol of wealth, abundance, and prosperity.

Despite its popularity, the dish has also been the subject of controversy due to concerns about the sustainability of some of the ingredients used, such as shark fin, which has led to calls for more ethical and environmentally friendly versions of the soup to be created.
