Chinese New Year Food Map

How do I create this FOOD MAP:

-Interviewed 6 people live in different cities/provinces in China and asked them a same question: What are the three MUST- Have dishes on the Chinese New Year dinner table in your family?

Why do I create this map?

- I want to understand if all the Chinese eat dumpling (饺子 ) in Chinese New Year dinner.

-Just curious about what people eat for this annual feast.

What did you eat for your Chinese New Year eve dinner this year?
